Nothing big…just read everything with interest is all. There's also a bit of curiosity about how one thing (a company changing ownership, say) might effect another (production obligations or whatever). When you're making decisions about what to buy, it's always good to know how the company's doing. I only found out recently that NHT was undergoing some real difficulties a couple of years ago, right around the time that I bought my speakers. I'm completely happy with my purchase, but I'm sure if I'd known it might have given me pause.
