When it comes to the AV world, big moves create big opportunities — and the latest news is no exception. HARMAN has officially closed its acquisition of Sound United, bringing powerhouse brands like Denon, Marantz, Bowers & Wilkins, Polk, and Definitive Technology under its umbrella.

Earlier in our #30DaysOfCEDIA series, I mentioned that Samsung owns HARMAN. With this new deal, some of the most trusted names in audio are now supported by the scale and innovation of not one, but two global giants: Samsung and HARMAN.​

HARMAN has confirmed that Sound United brands will keep their identities but benefit from the scale and resources of both HARMAN and Samsung. This opens the door for:

-Stronger product development pipelines
-More innovation across categories
-Tighter integration between audio, video, and smart home platforms

​In short, it’s good news for both integrators and homeowners who value long-term stability.​
​

When you invest in high-performance home theater and whole-home audio, you want confidence that the brand will be supported for years to come. With HARMAN and Samsung behind these brands, you can expect:

-Better long-term support and service
-More advanced features rolling out in future product generations
-Even more seamless integration into smart home systems
​

At Hutter Home Theater, we work with many of these brands in custom projects. Knowing they are backed by HARMAN and Samsung gives us — and our clients — peace of mind that these systems will be supported and improved over time.

​We’re excited to see how this acquisition leads to better products, smarter integrations, and even more reliable performance for your home.
​

Speaking of updates — we’ve been working on a new look for Hutter Home Theater. You’ll notice a preview of our redesigned logo here on the blog. This fresh design reflects the cutting-edge technology and modern elegance we bring to every project. Stay tuned for a full reveal soon.

The audio industry is evolving fast, and we’re here to make sure your home theater and smart home system evolve with it. If you’d like to experience what brands like Denon, Marantz, and Bowers & Wilkins can deliver in your home, let’s talk.
