| Harman/Levinson/Proceed/Lexicon/Revel/ Deal Busted It's the credit crunch. KKR didn't like the terms the bank was offering to finance the debt. In addition, KKR doesn't want to be holding a luxury manufacturer in a slowing/tightening economy. | |
| B&W Name Change Theory It's not a name change. They have always been Bowers and Wilkins; they just choose to stop using their initials. I do agree that B&W sound too similar to BMW so I always say "B&W speakers" to avoid confusion. I also think Bowers and Wilkin... | |

| HD Radio...anyone heard any in home tuners? HD radio = Hybrid digital. About as good as XM or Sirius which means good enough for background listening but not good enough for us golden eared tweaks.

| Do well-intentioned people move your speakers? Misstl,If you really want to tick of a cook, use his $300 french knife to open a can. There's a saying in the kitchen "Don't touch my John***, don't touch me knife." I once drug a guy across the kitchen because he used my knife to open a can. I wa... | |
