I saw this in another forum:

The JBL Northridge plant (of all places) is shutting down in July.
Although it's a definite blow to our community, I bet it's even more devastating to the pro audio community. I'm sure they will offshore to the far-east and probably keep plugging along, but it will never be the same. Also, JBL has always done a great job at maintaining inventories of replacement parts for old models, but this seems to be questionable now.
I guess that leaves Klipsch as the last man standing in terms of classic American loudspeakers.
It seems as if everything Harmon Intl. touches eventually turns to crap.

Good luck.
