TROUBLING TRENDS SHAKE BRITISH AUDIO
Article Abstract:
British companies that produce loud speakers have not been faring well in the 1990s. TGI, for instance, announced in 1998 that they were losing money. Rogers, however, closed shop, as did Morduant-Short. Spendor is still in business, as is Harbeth. What will happen with Epos is not clear as of 1999.
