If I'm not mistaken a few folks left JBL to join his team.

LOL, if even mentions that in the article. :p
"Companies such as Harman (where Devantier and many others at the lab worked), DTS, ELAC America and many others call the City of Angels home."
I thought it was weird that SO posted about a job opening at JBL the day after GT was fired and it was for an Intern. Anyway, whatever... :rolleyes:
I certainly hope it all works out well for Allan and friends!
Very interesting.
Thanks for that.

Jerry Moro is now the "principal engineer-transducers" at Samsung Research America.
Way to go JBL.
Barry.
Awesome! I was hoping he would get hired there. :)
That is great news. :applaud:

"Sorry, I am old and I meant to say Jerry. Congratulations, Jerry Moro."
Don't feel too bad, I understand young people make mistakes too.
I'll be damned...Samsung. Who would of guessed?
These do bear some resemblance to the JBL 590:

Lol... nothing at all alike... port in the front, driver separation ... I'm not seeing it. ;)
I just discovered the following website and this article posted on June 4th seems a little late to the party:

I am glad that someone has recognized the talent that was available!! Maybe GT will even consult from time to time who knows...:dont-know:
wowzers...
who'd a thunk it...
good news, I agree...
I heard that Panasonic has penned a deal here in Denver for it's U.S. sales and engineering hub...
I think I heard that it is more related to "smart city" type tech....
glad to see the US investments....
