As I have said time and time again, the high end is due for a woeful shaking out because everybody who wants component audio already has some, and in these parlous times, upgrading their stereo is not the first thing on most peoples' minds.
A few US audio companies are to me seeming to survive only on exports.
I bet that because of their high materials and fabrication costs (Denmark, not China), Peak Consult was not as profitable as most household-name loudspeaker companies.
Breaking into the US market in a real way is hard hard hard. It takes about 5 years of daily work and a sinking fund of about $250,000 to get established until cash flow is steady.
Having a good product is not enough.
