Nice share. Didn't know Harmon had so many of those brands.

Thanks, Jim.

The acquisition by Samsung was primarily to gain entrée into the automotive sector. As such, their interest in audio for its own sake appears to be nil. I just hope they don't screw with brands such as Crown, JBL, Harman Kardon, and the rest. Historically, 'suits' have a very poor record in dealings with products and personnel outside of their immediate area of interest.

Just sayin'…

They said they are keeping the Harman name intact, along with the employees; however, how many times has this been said and then within a year, they figure out what they really wanted to keep and discard the rest.
