Harman bought by Samsung
« on: November 14, 2016, 07:51:35 AM »
Interesting move by Samsung to purchase Harman for 8Billion.  I guess they are trying to get into providing system for automobiles.  Not sure where the sale leaves the home audio space though.

I see the purchase as more for the auto industry components and the high end audio stuff being sold off to someone else.
