The article doesn't say, or I missed it, if Musical Fidelity will remain as a brand or if they will all be Pro-ject products now.  I could never figure out if they were a value brand or a high end brand, I don't think they did either, a little focus might be good for the brand if they keep the name.

From UK (pound) -> Austria (euro)

Maybe the future that lies ahead has been the fuze.

Black future if hard brexit I think => closed duones or price increase a lot for future customs.

The same problem will have big manufactures, and not only audio. Hard brexit would be a disaster for the productive economy whose business lies in export.
