Hi, Sudz,
I'm not sure it's a shame, it's just all part of the shifting of power world-wide. It's inevitable. And if you read the PR at Dynaudio's web site, the purchase makes sense from a product development and manufacturing perspective. Let's face it, mid-to-high end audio isn't going to persist as we've known it; the demographics are heading towards fewer of us old farts and our paradigms of what a stereo system looks and sounds like. Wireless connections and streaming are the future and Dynaudio is already at the leading edge of the trend in wireless sound systems. This merger provides the opportunity to develop a complete package.
Regards,
Tom
PS: I own Dynaudio speakers, so I'm happy. They're probably worth more now. :-)

It does?
Hi, middleground,
Sure, in respect to the global economy. With the implosion of the Soviet Union, Japan's slippage from it's former economic prominence, and the European Union's financial troubles, China is filling the voids. The difference is that China is much smarter about it's role in the world's economy than Russia, has far more growth potential than Japan ever had, and is financially solvent in ways that most countries can only dream about. So the balance of power is shifting. As to whether the earth's center of gravity is affected, only time will tell.
Regards,
Tom
The owners of the US made China by outsourcing\offshoring.
Have the Chinese invented anything since gun powder?
Oh, I thought we were talking about Dynaudio and business decisions, world trade and the relationship to economic power. Not sure about gunpowder. Did the USA invent outsourcing? We seem to have perfected it. :-(

It's based on the love of money overriding the love of being a civil society or the love of actually building things.
The Chinese don't invent. They copy.
Though you are (hopefully) hundreds of miles away, your ignorance seems palpable.

Dude you are so clueless! Ok the Chinese invented a couple of things. Big whoop. They steal copyrighted material everyday from the United States. Our biggest threat to national security Isn't Isis. It's the Chinese government.
Didn't the Chinese invent firecrackers?
Seems like a fair statement.
Finally someone with common sense. Amazing.
...You hatred and bullshit has no place here.

Tell me what I said that wasn't true and I'll publicly apologize.
...Untrue? Most things you ever post. Just from one post;
1) The Chinese don't invent.
2) They steal copyrighted material everyday from the United States.
3) Our biggest threat to national security Isn't Isis. It's the Chinese government.
So there are three blatant untruths.
And this hateful racist gem;
The only thing I want to see the Chinese owning are Chinese restaurants.
I will leave you to it, Mike, I'm done with your low-brow pollution.

Everything I said was true! The comment about the Chinese should only own Chinese restaurants was a mistake and I will apologize for that. That was uncalled for.
Yeah, I thought you should have added hand laundries in there!
and if the chinese didn't have to speak only chinese in chinese restaurants, they'd receive less criticism.
just saying (as they say)

Sad but true, you make some good points. I guess my Dynaudio's will be going in the trash next Thursday. The only thing I want to see the Chinese owning are Chinese restaurants.
Never takes long for the frightened to bare their ignorance in
this type of thread, though it took you longer than usual.
Did someone in this thread mention xenophobia?

From a business standpoint, I'm sure for those involved, things were very beneficial. While I am sorry to the lot that is probably gonna become an unemployment stat within the next 6 mos./year, as tomservo's link to the article he referenced (read if you haven't),I too have to agree- if there is a possibility for the company to advance, then all the power to them! I would move my company to a lower taxation area or sell my company to the highest bidder if the offer looked attractive enough...
Cheers,
