[QUOTE="Rotelman, post: 997934, member: 19028"] It's not always buy outs that's the problem. Sell outs are just as big a problem, just look at the demise of Sansui Electric since changing strategy to move away from its innovation driven roots. To the extent that my 1973 AU555A can slay any modern day hifi corruption "sansui" bling thing before the dial reaches 9 'o clock. I do have fond memories of Grundig products in the older VW vehicles (and Becker in the Mercs), but don't deem what's on offer from them now worth any serious consideration. Just because the name is the same doesn't mean the product's ethos of old have remained intact, regardless of commercial arrangements. When beancounters start running companies, engineers are often sidelined and the rest is history... [/QUOTE]
