Are they still owned by Philips?

**EDIT** Ahh, Harman International. They've got some interesting strings to their bow these days.

[Macca]

And Harman is owned by Samsung. They have every string and all the bows.

Harman only own B&O Automotive. The domestic audio and television side of things is still an independent Danish company

I still love mine! They're one of the few items I have that I will never part with unless I am forced to.

Whoops. Shame they didn’t check their names - it was PETER Bang and Svend Olufsen who started B&O!

Also, they seem to have forgotten Yamaha - 1887.

Well, they are What Hi-Fi. Pinch of salt and all that.
