You won't have to go to eBay to get Lake and Labs for cheap. Should take about 12/24 months. You'd think I'd be used to it by now, but it sucks just as bad every time.
I really don't understand these negative comment and emotion. when MG bought Midas they invested a lot and hire 100 people in engineering... before Midas was almost bankruped and look now is doing very well. nothing is cheap and the products are very good and on many rider. I know some engineer in UK and they are very happy how the company invest and how brand is doing.
if MG buy TC as you say, they will also invest with many engineer and this would be very good for TC brands.
Uli understand well that premium brands are different and he does good job to move MG into professional av. And if you dont like buy other brand.. simple.
When Yamaha bought Nexo the brand was very popular but they did not invest... now Nexo has lost to l'acoustic and d&b etc.
