I agree that this could be the end of high-end at Harman. But I've long maintained that the high-end and even the pro audio business is really about people; not products. Harman has great people. If those people don't feel valued, they will simply leave and start a new firm so they can continue to pursue their interests. Most of the great people at Harman came from somewhere else before they arrived at Harman.
Individuals can't do what Harman does. What makes them exceptional is their broad dedication to fidelity, backed up by research and very deep pockets. Sean Olive could leave Harman and start a speaker company. That doesn't mean he'd be able to do what he did at Harman.
