Thomann bought H&K. Should we care?

[JiveTurkey]

Not sure if I want to watch this, but should we care?

What we should care about is not giving that KDH jackass any views.

I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing, at least it wasn't sold to some venture capital firm to gut. If it keeps H&K going and allows them to put out interesting products, it's all good.

KDH makes some interesting indepth videos.
As for H&K I’ve never actually heard any of there amps in the flesh.

Because he's a "Ginger" ?

He does have 100k subs

I heard he's a "Ginger" with no soul.

Maybe @laxu is Rob Chapman.

What did he do?

He put out a lot of pure clickbait nonsense videos.

That's the YouTube model, bro.

 

[HomespunEffects]

He put out a lot of pure clickbait nonsense videos.

To be fair, YouTube encourages the practice.

Not watched the video, but I will say:

I've used Thomann on and off for over a decade now, and they've always seemed like a pretty decent company to me.

I've always had good interactions with them and the service has been great.

I don't have any problem with them buying H&K

TBH I think it's all good. Thomann are pretty ok.

I DEFINITELY don’t care what KDH has to say.

Personally, I feel like the only time I’m intrigued by H&K is from an “oh, wow, that does a lot of stuff!” Perspective, never from a “wow, that sounds GREAT!” Perspective. Which is to say it’s been a while because tube amps will never win the “that’s just a really useful box” war at this point.

Any profile sellers offering up packs for those coveted H&K tones?

Cost cutting agenda:
1. no more blue neon

 

[MirrorProfiles]

It’ll probably work in their favour. I don’t think any has really cared about them for some time. Loads of shops own or have an involvement with brands , just how it is these days.

I always wanted the Warp-T head but never did anything about that desire

Please don’t get KDH started on all the conflicts of interest that could arguably, but don’t, exist…

 

[dronerstone]

That's certainly an interesting development. Might be good though, let's see what happens.

PS: Not watching that vid.

EDIT: still better than if Behringer/Music Tribe bought them, imho
