A lot of dealers used to intensely dislike the CEO of Harman and had lots of bad things to say about Revel/JBL/Levinson. I doubt the move to Samsung improves peoples perspectives. Since they moved their products to on-line retailers like Crutchfield it gets worse.
Saying Harman/Revel is having financial concerns is odd and likely the dealer is hoping you don't know it is owned by Samsung. Given Harman made a strategic decision to go all in on Revel and JBL at the expense of Infinity, seems unlikely Samsung is going to kill that brand without making efforts to revitalize it. Not that I actually think it is having any issue given the recent launch and now expansion of the PerformaBEs.
Likely a rumour started to disparage a very effective competitor to many companies.
