I'm sure that's completely sarcastic but it does raise a very important point.
Genelec is a large company with an enormous share of the pro audio market and has been around for a very long time and probably will be for a long time to come.
A lot of "high end Hi Fi" manufacturers in reality are little more than a couple of blokes in sheds. I'm not at all sure I want to be investing heavily in expensive products from such manufacturers, or for that matter paying for artisanal manufacture as opposed to mass production.
Linn and Naim in that context are (or at least were) relatively large players yet still retained much of that artisanal approach until fairly recently (Linn less recently).
They are now "big business minded" which will be their undoing since there is no way they are ever going to compete with proper big businesses like Sony and Samsung.
