Harman To Acquire B&W, Denon, Polk And Marantz From Masimo In $350 Million Deal

Consolation is ongoing in all industries.  I love my Revel speakers, Denon AVR and Lexicon stereo in my car.  I have a Samsung fridge and washer.  I think everything else is made by Yamaha.  Innovation is important to stay competitive, profitable and on top.  It’s eat or be eaten in business.  When the lion is hungry he eats - cue Matthew in The Gentleman.  Looking forward new and better equipment whoever owns the company.  

The only thing in my system so unique that I consider irreplaceable are my Ohm Walsh speakers.  If Harmon buying the company were needed to keep it alive so be it.  It’s a very small privately owned company with limited production capabilities so would actually be interesting to see what a large company like Harmon might be able to do.  Regardless, I will be hanging on to the Ohms I have for the foreseeable future.

I also own gear from Cambridge Audio, Class D Audio, Schitt, Linn, Electrocompaniet, Denon, Rega, Polk, KEF, Sonus Faber, Fosi, Yamaha, Bel Canto, Boston Acoustics, Dual, Goldring.

Good. Masimo was a terrible owner

How could I forget Roon?   Harmon has done wonders for Roon.

Thanks for the post!  This is very important information.  I have seen nothing in the news feeds I get on a daily basis.  Might be a good idea to purchase stock in Samsung, as they now own (or soon) a large section of the audiophile equipment market!
