Manufacturers past their heyday


There are many companies that we all recall from years gone by that are gone. There are some companies that while still around, seem be be past their glory days. For instant, while Conrad Johnson is still around, they just don’t seem to be nearly as relevant as they used to be. Of course, my thought on CJ are purely subjective. And yet other companies seem to be as relevant today as they were 20 of more years ago. VPI perhaps? Definitely McIntosh. 

Who are the other former high flyers that seem to be operating on an altogether different level these days?

Jjss I have far more knowledge base then you and most others having owned a Audio store for a number of years,and40+ years in Audio  and been involved with modding and upgrades ,I know the products inside and out ,not just turning it on.
The death of my CJ ET-5 and ART300 Anniversary monoblocks have been greatly exaggerated, that is, unless I am hallucinating. Because, I am listening to them right now, through my Egglestonworks Viginti’s.

I understand people asking questions here, because other members can be, and have been, very helpful.

What I don’t understand, or really appreciate, are folks who have these notions they want to share with us, but can’t seem to offer anything specific, nor can they spell.
millercarbon,
You must be joking mentioning Klipsch. They are certainly experiencing Days of Glory with the Heritage line the last few years.
