Which begs the question of how much longer will Ketron be able to hold out? Ketron is limited in their overall customer support as well as very poor distribution in North America and other parts of the world. If the Audya happens to sell at a reasonable price and sell reasonably well worldwide then Ketron may be able to recoup some of their losses from R&D and the underwhelming sales of some of their other products. To be honest I will be surprised if Ketron lasts through the rest of this year. Of course we have no way of really knowing how financially stable and secure Ketron really is but I am guessing they are suffering much like practically every other major business is world over. Being a relatively "small" business (company) in a sea of much larger and much better established ones like Yammie and Roland, I have a tendency to think that Ketron is on the verge of possibly sinking and going belly up much like GEM recently has done.

I hope they don't, of course, because competition is good for consumers and businesses alike. But my gut feeling is telling me different sorry to say.

All the best,
Mike
