RE: [OT] Plamsa purchase - on the verge....

["John Risby" <john@xxxxxxx>]

yes, they do own such firms which is why i was totally lied to last week by richer sounds staff who tried to convince me that the only amp worth
buying was a sheerwood and the best dvd for me was an acoustic solutions (who i believe they also own, although i could be wrong on that).
regardless, they did lie to me and i've lost a lot of previously held
faith in them.

(responding late having just got in to catch up, so forgive me if this
has already been said).
