Heh

They sold the division to Onkyo. So it actually lives on.

But aside from TAD, Pioneer really wasn't an audio player anymore - certainly not in the high end space, and not where they were positioned in the 1970's which was their heyday.

COmpanies buy and sell divisions all the time. Some grow and some shrink. Such is life.

Lots of room for smaller companies to jump the fray, too. But they don't provide competition for the big boys when they get serious about it. But the volumes one must operate at in order ot be profitable are lower than they every have been - and it is possible to do a lot with fewer employees than ever. Whether this is good or bad really depends upon how you are positioned. I've found the people that are the most negative are the ones negatively affected by changes in the economy. Hope that's not you.
