AudioVideo Revolution reports that the company recently axed the head of its U.S. home audio division. The company is expected to retain its automotive business, where it has a much larger market share." </i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/7561235134511081.jpg" /><br /><br />This is rather sad news, if true. Kenwood is an old name in audio. Even if their market share has dwindled, and their home-audio product line has diminished, I'll miss seeing the Kenwood brand name.
