Good. Masimo was a terrible owner
Harman To Acquire B&W, Denon, Polk And Marantz From Masimo In $350 Million Deal
just saw the above announcement--of particular note is that masimo paid over a billion for the same brands just a few years ago. not sure whether harman will add any value--they've neither hurt nor helped revel or arcam--or what this move indicates about the consumer audio market generally, but this doesn't bode well for the future.

@llg98ljk that is to be expected in a space that think it is a big thing when we’re a niche within a niche. To put how small we’re as a subset of audio, AirPods Pro 2, AirPods 3, and AirPods Max alone gave Apple almost 22 billion in revenue for 2024 Apple could’ve bought All of so-called Hi-Fi, Mid-Fi and Lo-Fi companies in our little pocket of audio and all they have to use is revenue from 2024 alone But hey let us keep arbitrary metrics up |
@fertguy Focal is good because of their portable devices like the Wired Headphones and Wireless Headphones. Not because of their two channel stuff.
If they didn’t have those divisions, they’re be struggling too. As for PS Audio, most of their money is from their music production/label end. Just pray they don’t end up being unprofitable. It has gone bankrupt before |
