Harman is a giant in the Audio Industry. But during this very moment, the favourite sound of Harman's managment is "the sound of Silence". Yesterday we were promised a reaction from senior Management (Mr. Blake Augsburger and Mr. Andy Trott) but 24 hours later, no reaction from either of them has reached us.
We are still very keen to start a dialogue about the future of Studer Ltd.. We have proposals to share with the Harman management but hey, we need to talk!
