  They never sold around $300, Nakamichi has been bought out by a Chinese company these days and quality isnt that great. Pretty sure soniq owns it as they use the speaker in their tv's

  Glorious brand in the 90's I wonder if it's finished like Aiwa, Sansui etc

    It's not the same legendary company from the 70s. The Real Nakamichi went bankrupt in the 90s and was sold to the Chinese. Grande Holdings at one point owned them along with Akai and Sansui but pretty sure they went bankrupt too. I'm sure the current Nakamichi stuff is OK but it's not going to be the amazing stuff from the 70s.

      I still have a 1980s Nakamichi cassette deck like that, the loading mechanism is simpler though.

      They were THE player back in the day.

  This speaker doesn't support aptX or LDAC, therefore it cannot achieve anywhere near CD quality sound over bluetooth

  I wish Nakamichi would bring out a new version of the Sound Space 3
