RE: Sounds like a Business Plan

It is, you are correct. One that may not work in the long-run. You mentioned that they have been in business 23 years. Japan maybe, but certainly not in the USA that long. The USA is a different market.

You also mention Audio Research and the fact that their products are always available on the secondary market. Not due to breakdown as you assert, but due to the fact that the company has been in business for 45 years, nearly twice as long as Leben and all of it in the USA market. Their products are available on the secondary market because you can get them repaired if necessary. Buyers can move into expensive equipment by buying it on the secondary market and then move up the line, or buy more products, if they like the product line.

It doesn't appear that Leben has this opportunity for potential buyers with their "business plan".
