Apart from headphones, the high end audio business is about $1Bn/yr total, all players, all in.

My view is that Marantz and Denon are Hi-Fi, not Hi-end ever since Marantz dropped their refernce separates line a decade ago, and Denon hasn't been Hi-End since Fairytale days.
Nevertheless, I agree this deal is a real head shaker. In the long run has the potential to be really bad for the D&M brands. Hopefully it won't turn out like the Alpine/Luxman acquisition of the mid 80's.
