I work for Best Buy and I still think this is an awful thing. Can you imagine D&M run by Best Buy. Their standards would go down significantly. However, if they don't touch any of their workers, just simply own D&M, then it could be interesting. Anyways, thought everyone should know. Lets hope this doesnt happen, or maybe Harmon will buy it.

Maybe KMart should buy them.

This is not so cool , Man I wish I could by Philips 12% of the shares so it could'nt go through. Dang I work for Philips & I'm still pissed that they sold the Marantz name off to D&M holdings .They made the name live again , I wonder what Saul Marantz would think today , Philips did this with the big Music label they bought too. Sold it out. man what wrong with these share holders ..

With the fate of so many of the top brands of audio gear on the line, it's no wonder that the AV crowd is watching this one closely.

And I'm one of them. It will be really interesting to see what will happen to the AV market once the holding is sold.

God, If Best Buy Bought them out, the Quality will surely decline, just so they could sell their Crappy Warranties on them.... Which nobody really needs on a Denon Receiver

They may need them once Best Buy is done with them.

Exactly.... We need a smaller Retailer to Buy them if a Retailer is going to do it at all.... Or no Retailer at all, Yamaha could even do it, their Receivers are....Goodish

if the product goes sour there will be no point to buy it, even if I get an extreme discount on it at BB

I wonder if D&M is responsible for that hideous Horizon line from Boston. Welcome to the low-end Denon!
