Masimo Acquires Sound United - Are Denon, Classe, Polk, B&W, Marantz, going to fade away??


FOMO posted a yt that describes the overall financial overlay of the deal and why he thinks it may portend bad news for Audio and HT fans. In the near future, some very well known, iconic brands may no longer have the financial backing they've been able to enjoy up to now. Could this be the end of these brands as we know them? What do you think?

When was the last time Denon had products that appealed to the enthusiast market, and conversely when was the last time the general consumer even knew who they were?

Well that's the case in Australia. Perhaps in the US or Europe they still have sales distribution, but here they are a distant memory. Marantz is far better positioned as a brand to survive.
