More potential bad news for some big names...

Andrew Robinson (hate him if you want to) recently reviewed Marantz's new line of speakers and streaming integrateds for the Gen Z crowd (see other contentious thread on that) and pointed out the poor and light weight build quality of it. Performance was nothing to write home about either and they're still asking a "Marantz" price for it. 

Sign of the times gents.

All the best,

You can't get in a restaurant here.

Instant increase in sales... Meters, the bigger the better. They don't have to be accurate, just moving. Who cares about driving 2-3 Ohm loads, as long as it's got meters.

While it's not impossible that major legacy brands could fold, we have to be careful of internet click-bait.  The fact that Masimo lost money does not mean the brands are failing.  I recall when the camera industry was negatively impacted by smart phone cameras and many sites claimed that Nikon, Fuji, etc., were in big trouble and might fail.  Some reporting sites didn't even look at the fact that the sale of cameras and photo lenses wasn't the majority of those companies businesses (they had substantial business in the medical field, copying field, etc.).  With some smart re-posturing both camera divisions are doing just fine, thank you very much.  Let's see what actually happens here. 

The sky is falling, the sky is falling, it just hit me on the head.
