Members abzurd Posted November 15, 2016 Members Share Posted November 15, 2016 Samsung must have more money than god. Their phones and washing machines are exploding so their losing all that revenue, and they'll likely be in lawsuits for the next decade...... eureka! that may be why! Spend the money while you still have it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cappttenron Posted November 15, 2016 Members Share Posted November 15, 2016 It says they have 70 Billion laying around. That would buy about 7 aircraft carriers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members agedhorse Posted November 19, 2016 Members Share Posted November 19, 2016 A bigger fish eating a big fish that ate smaller fish... the circle of life? This scenario did not work out well for my career, hope there's not too much carnage in the trenches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RoadRanger Posted November 20, 2016 Members Share Posted November 20, 2016 I don't see any glaring redundancies such as the Fender/SWR/GB one that resulted from those buyouts? And it seems to me you did fine with your eventual move to MB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kalina2 Posted November 20, 2016 Members Share Posted November 20, 2016 Perhaps the greatest danger of globalization is that the financial giants begin to dictate global policy and citizens of some countries will be deprived of their traditional revenues, if the giants will not profitable production in a country, then this production will be destroyed, which means that residents lose their money ....Giants decide - or do we live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pro Sound Guy Posted November 20, 2016 Members Share Posted November 20, 2016 Hopefully "quality" and great American design will not suffer from this. As well as the consumer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it seems to me you did fine with your eventual move to MB? Hard to say, a company like Samsung might be looking at some specific brands or technology (and licensing revenue) and spin (or flush) the rest? I ended up ok, so did Jeff and Scott eventually, but there were a lot of really good guys who ended up in the wrong place at the wrong time and that still leaves an unsettling pit in my stomach.

Members popgadget Posted November 25, 2016 Members Share Posted November 25, 2016 I was under the impression it was the portfolio of OEM automotive products that Samsung was interested in. Harmon had JBL, Infinity, Harman Kardon, Becker, B&O and others in their stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kalina2 Posted November 27, 2016 Members Share Posted November 27, 2016 and how did the "Rust Belt"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dogoth Posted December 9, 2016 Members Share Posted December 9, 2016 FWIW I've gotten good impressions of Samsung products (everyone makes a stinker once in a while) so maybe they'll leave the individual company's/division's R&D folks intact. To take a positive view, this might be a deeper bunch of resources (monetary and otherwise) for the audio companies to draw from. OR as Kalina2 says, this might turn into a turd sandwich for those aforementioned audio companies and those who depend on their excellent service & products. Time will tell.
