    I just saw this on another forum and though I'd share it here, in case anyone didn't know yet:

     If true it can't be good.They sell junk like Jensen and cables like AR and when's the last time RCA put out anything decent. They'll gut the brand.

    If this is true it may spell the beginning of the death of Klipsch....   Please let it only be a rumor or that if true Klipsch is spun off as a separate standalone company...  

    Let's hope and pray it's not as bad as it sounds ...

    Marty, can you put the Twins to work on stopping this nightmare.  Hopefully that's all it is... a nightmare.  

    Whoever bought McIntosh, I think Clarion, I think has let McIntosh carry on with principles at least somewhat / mostly intact but today's Jensen, AR, and RCA brands (I did not know that RCA was no longer owned by Thomsen ...) don't exactly conjure up thoughts of that's something I want to buy.  Maybe a cable in a pinch, but... sad news indeed.

    Ahhh but it quite likely will be more like "Dual" car audio than Dual car audio.  A former great brand bought for name recongnition only with really nothing more left of Dual than the name and the memories....

    We can hope for better and that they would allow Klipsch to operate as today but it just doesn't sound optimistic.

    Well it does say "non-binding"  in JB's post so I suppose we shouldn't all panic quite yet.

    Seals the deal for me not getting spikes for my KSP-400s (that were promised).  I wonder when they'll pull the plug on this forum?

    No need to panic but the thought of considering this move tells me a lot.

     Hey look on the bright side... at least KRACO isn't buying Klipsch!

     

    Who here remembers KRACO car stereos from the late 70's and early 80's?!  Big Smile
