They did almost a Jägermeister move of an obscure brand to a de facto product associated with high-end. And even they got sold, not to mention that the founder Gordon Gow was hugely against the direction the company was taking as early as the 90s when Clarion took over. However, as Achim said, very little of the original company remains after so many successive ownerships. Same for Krell and so many others. They either just churn out the same old products without innovation (Halcro and M&K for example) or just bank on the name and legacy which will invariably catch up with them as competition heats up.</p></blockquote><p></p>
