Madrigal is Closed

Gorf, do you have any more information? How did you find this out? What operations did Madrigal perform that may not be performed now?

I went to Madrigal.com and it forwards you to http://www.harmanspecialtygroup.com/.

It appears that Levinson and Revel are still operating but you must wonder what affect this has.

I fail to see anything dire in this and think many of you are misreading things and over-reacting.

With the discontinuation of Proceed, there was no reason for Madrigal to exist as an umbrella brand for Levinson alone. Think of Harman Specialty as the new name for Madrigal, which now includes Levinson plus Revel and Lexicon.

Or maybe I'm a pollyanna.

If it's true,to hell with them.There are better companies.

Inna, on what do you base your statement "There are
better companies"? Have you owned Madrigal equipment?

I have owned a number of pieces of Mark Levinson gear,
and I have always found the construction quality beyond
reproach. You can criticize them for their sound, but
to me and many others they are among the best in "high
end". I've had occasion to deal with their service
department, and they were always prompt, polite, helpful
and completely professional. Other firms could do well
to emulate Madrigal.

I just got canned.

Drubin is basically correct an his assesment; that is the big picture.

The powers that be at HSG have not been able to follow through with smaller details/decisions that are part of more major decisions.
