Arcam was bought by Samsung several months ago..
Mainly to support the higher end lifestyle brands of Harman International such as Lexicon, JBL Synthesis, Revel used by for the 12V OE infotainment systems sold by Harman International to the automobile brands... This category deliver 80% of the $ profits for Harman International to Samsung..
To date the performance/quality of the Arcam audio components has been positive, their primary disadvantage was that Arcam needed deeper $ pockets to underwrite their R&D budgets a stock compete with other AV brands...
Just my $0.02...
