Harmon to aquire B&W, Polk, Denon, and Marantz from Masimo

Yikes, all of this because some a$$hole cannot let go of any device they’ve ever owned and ruined the rear panel of two AVPs with several pounds of force from spaghetti wire? Somebody send this f#%ker an AV10 already and spare multiple forum threads of this crap.

That's exactly my point.

Damn, I was 'bout to send him my Yamaha CX-A5100 AVP just to shut him up.

Hate it when I sell a project and a half dozen guys get to work and feed their families.

Back on topic… it’ll be great when Denon and Marantz flagship receivers go on 50% off factory direct sales and screw the small business retailers… s/

@TLS Guy

You don’t like it when I sell a project a a half dozen to a dozen guys go to work and feed their families? I’m pretty confused… without someone selling the work the laborers don’t have a job.

Denon has been selling direct for years- then, there's the refurb dealer- why would anyone want to be a real Denon dealer when they have to compete with that, other than because of the convenience of local distribution or customers who don't shop outside of whomever they buy from without checking anywhere else? Regular customers are like Gold and anyone who works mainly with repeat business & referrals knows that.

The internet killed B&M, China has killed non-centralized ownership and once again, govenments that can't get along are killing economies. Trump's tactics are similar to killing ants with nuclear bombs.

Oopsie, just saw this post… lol

Of course, it’s good anytime someone can create more jobs.

What happened to Def Tech in all this? They aren't part of this deal so you think they are just gonna die a very slow death?

Wow that's a helluva an end. They were my first "high end" intro to home theater.

DefTech is part of Sound United.

If DefTech is selling well, I bet Samsung will continue DefTech.

Just like if Polk is selling poorly, then I bet they will discontinue it.

Yeah think both are fairly strong brands for the big box stores....but I'd love to see the actual revenue figures over time for both.

Exactly, the only thing Samsung cares about is making money, not whether TLS Guy likes it or not.
