Why Xenophobic? I think it is sickening that they sell at all, not necessarily to the chinese. Regardless of who it is to the guys at the top just want to cash out and don't give a rat's ass about the future of the products that come out of the company.
China will probably teach them a thing or two...but I doubt it will be about making better speakers.

... Because oh yeah, if Dynaudio had sold to a Danish audio company I'm sure you would have posted exactly the same thing. No? Kid yourself if you like, your comments are obvious.
As people get older what do you expect them to do?
Got any rational ideas on how a person who starts a company retires?
You say "cash out" like it is a bad thing?
What is this idiocy you imply about the founder of a company having some obligation about future products? Sounds naïve in the extreme to me.

Sounds arrogant to me.
Carry on.

Depends on the nature of the Danish company they sold to. If that other company specialized in, let's say washing machines, I would probably have a negative comment to say. If they had consolidated with Dali I don't think I would care much.
BTW, in Europe there are many old Breweries that have carried on with traditional recipes for centuries...so continuity when the original owner retires or dies IS possible.
Cashing out isn't always bad but in this case it means probably wholesale change in the business he founded...like the sale of Thiel once Jim Thiel died. The new products don't even remotely resemble the products that the company built it's reputation on.
"What is this idiocy you imply about the founder of a company having some obligation about future products?"
Not idiocy at all but companies that care about their reputation more than profits.
Not arrogance, experience with Chinese products. Sure they are improving and will one day reach the same level of craftsmanship...but they aren't there yet.
... How successful Dynaudio is in the future. My guess is their future is bright.
Dynaudio is 37 years old and comparing it to breweries is silly. I doubt any speaker/audio company founded in 1977 will have the same traditions of manufacturing audio gear in centuries to come. Time will tell LOL.
I'd also say Dynaudio speakers are better today than they were in 1977. YMMV.
"Cashing out" is inevitable. There is rarely an alternative, except maybe going broke.
You mention Thiel, are you suggesting Thiel was uncaring because he died? Enlighten me about what YOU think should have happened after Thiel
died and how your views about Thiel would be implemented?
Some manufacturing in China is world class. Like in every country there is good and bad.
The irony is it is the insatiable greed of the West which has most empowered China. China can't force anyone to buy anything. But the West loves making money with China, as they should.
Lastly, I think you, and many others on this site, are ignorantly & arrogantly impugning the character & motives of Wilfried Ehrenholz for no other reason than your intrinsic hate & fear of China.
