[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 101145, member: 126"] Re: Behringer iNUKE NU6000 amplifier In the relatively short term cash flow trumps profit and loss, but in the long term only the government can print money, so eventually a business that it unprofitable and has no future prospects to borrow against will go out of business. Many brand new businesses will trade growing market share and top line growth (gross sales) for short term profit margin, hoping to benefit in the long run. Companies that sell stock have that equity capital they raised to spend before they run out of working capital, many new company IPOs are not even profitable yet, while these days is not as bad as during the dot com bubble when most IPOs were just grand ideas with an underwriter. Becoming more corporate is generally a good thing if you mean planning and budgets and clear lines of authority. I suspect you are offering corporate as some kind of pejorative. The "personal touch" is a victim of success, if the chief designer is talking every service call, and fixing them himself, he can't afford to sell too many units or will have no time to design the next one. I have seen as many bad decisions made by small companies as large, while the large company bad decisions make a bigger splash and leave a bigger hole. Not just look for, this is one compelling motivation for such acquisitions. There is typically benefit to the large organization to run more production through the existing factory and cost savings for the small company product can be significant. True there are more sharp pencil types at larger companies, while small companies often err by not charging what it really cost them, or using vague costing rules of thumb that can lead to incorrect design decisions. Two edges to that knife. In my experience higher volume production is generally more accurate and higher build quality. While it is hypothetically possible to de-engineer a design I doubt that happens often if at all. More commonly the acquiring company will exploit the premium brand by line extension down to lower feature higher sales volume models. This is manufacturing management 101. The Mackie story may have been even more complex than that, as Italian designed products may involve some components that did not translate well to world sourcing. JBLs move to Mexico was not as dramatic. I am with you about the evolution of full duty to low duty cycle amps, but that only explains a fraction of the difference between a $400 amp and a $3000, there is more involved. JR [/QUOTE]
