Harman Kardon

I have been a long time loyal customer of Harman Kardon for many years.  Now they are talking about moving 75% of their employment to "cost friendly" countries.  I guess it's time to shop for a new brand.  :-(

since Harmon International-owner of HK,JBL and some others-has moved their production to those "freindly" countries--their product QUALITY has gone down-For instance JBL commercial speakers made in Mexico-quality is terrible compared to the US made ones.so if you buy JBL speaker components-look closely on the nameplate to see where it was made.Aviod the Mexico ones.
