Life is tough for small businesses in audio -- in fact, for small businesses in any industry. You can have a great product and still not make it -- remember the story of VHS video tapes versus Sony's Betamax? Betamax had superior picture quality but ended up being the loser when the public went all-in on VHS. And Sony was hardly a small business, Imagine how hard things can be for a small company that doesn't have the deep pockets of a major corporation.
The good news for Verity owners is that they can continue to enjoy their speakers whether the company's around or not.
