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

I'd watch for some brand discontinuation. Boston Acoustics is already moribund. Denon and Marantz pretty much compete against each other; I'd guess Marantz will be the survivor. JBL has become so all encompassing, I'd say Polk is on a short leash. Harman is bigger in audio than GM ever was in autos. 

Funny this company is buying up all of these private companies, then the government will say....it's a monopoly...change it..I own equipment from most of the companies listed...but at 73 ,I'm done buy new audio equipment...now my vintage stuff  will be worth more...perhaps. 

To repeat...  Harman has done a great job with Roon.

@coppy777 Roon is the last thing on my mind when it comes to what Samsung/Harman has contributed to pushing audio forward. but Yes, Roon is a good testament

I wondered if the quality of the mostly mid-fi brands would be affected when Masimo bought these brands several years ago and I saw little change except more of concentration on AVR and less on 2-channel.
