Not at all recent, but Mark Levinson
Posted by mwhitmore on December 10, 2010 at 08:45:28:
Back in the 70's, Mark Levinson invented the first decent-sounding solid-state amps and preamps. No businssman, he had financial difficulties expanding to meet demand. So he brought in an investor/manager to help him out (named Sandy Berlin, IIRC). Who proceeded to take the company away from Levinson, forbade him to use his own name and tried to bankrupt him. After that, I would never consider buying a Mark Levinson Audio product, no matter how good it sounded.
