Hongshan, formerly known as "Sequoia China"

Can't wait to see them get hit with monster tariffs.

Funny how they use those blutooth speakers as the pic in the article. Makes sense, because it would require about 3/4 of a million guitar amp sales in revenue to be a $1.1b valuation. Suppose it really is a lifestyle brand.

Considering a Chinese consumer brand influencer soy company is the highest bidder, it’s not because they care about the quality of Marshall amplifiers.

They must have really high hopes. ?‍ That's just a break even number, imo. Usually that number wants to be hit within 3 years for investors. Good luck.

Maybe we should let the Chinese have them, tariff them to death, and then start building copyright infringing clones of all their amps complete with Marshall logos for cheaper right here in the states.

My 3D Printers are warming up as we speak to print out those Marsha emblems.

Interesting read, though. Perhaps 3 years isn't entirely insane. They showed about $375m USD revenue in 2023, apparently. Crazy.

I was thinking Mars' hall, with barely-there apostrophe and separating space.

Since the "Marsha!!" acquisition is imminent, here's a pic I think everyone will find highly metaphorical:

Yep it happened.

Good just let the overpriced, underdelivering amp lines die already.

I actually hope they kill the guitar amp line and just let the UK factory buy itself a la Heritage.

I wish Friedman could buy out the entire tube amp part of Marshall and let the conglomerates fight over the refrigerators, ear buds, and other marketing bullshit. Dave single handedly built a Jose that even billion dollar marshall can’t top and that’s saying something ?

very disappointing it went to a Chinese company. If history is an indicator, it's just going to go lower in quality, and up in price. I hope I'm wrong.
