I know it's a morbid topic. But there are many excellent products designed by folks who are getting up there in age. Which audiophile manufacturers are best suited to succeed after the "one man" passes on to the absolute sound in the sky?
Wilson, as the son is doing great.
Apparently Thiel didn't.
It seems like things kept chugging along after Peter Walker died. I think he sold Quad to IAG before he passed. That's one of those brands which could never die no matter what. It reminds me of during the financial crisis, Chrysler wanted a bailout from the government. People were actually saying Jeep would permanently go out of business. Great brands never die.
Apparently Thiel didn't.
Yes but now Quad are just another manufacturer, they haven't produced anything new since 'current dumping ', and that was when they were still run by PJW.
Keith.
