Samsung buys Harman for $8B


Wow! Seems they were after Harman's auto business which is 65% of what Harman does. Will Samsung leave Harman's high end brands alone or does that spell ruination of Mark Levinson, Revel, JBL, Lexicon, et al? 

Is this the largest high end acquisition?

The clothing and sport gear company Patagonia founder a while back realized they had grown too big to do the core of their business well. I forget the details; there was an article about him and the company a month or so ago in The New Yorker.
99% of founders of companies or corporations would choose being colonized by a mega-corporation over staying small and producing a decent product.
I find it ironic that the company which turned 30 years of classic Infinity speakers into the world’s most pathetic garage sale are getting swallowed up by the new top dog in town. I mean, I wonder is Samsung can stomp on the ghost of Infinity past any more than Harman, lol!
So far this is my experience with my 2012 Plasma TV that had a main board fail.  Excellent TV until it decided not to completely power up one day.  I may amend this post if they come through with a partial(depreciated) refund after "reviewing" my case for close to 2 weeks.

willand, i had what may be the same power issue with my samsung tv--there's a diy fix that even i was able to do involving replacing $.50 caps--google it
