Controversial Jeremy Burkhardt is back... he will officially launch his new audio brand at CEDIA 2014 in USA. It's called Origin Acoustics and the website shows now only a logo that is unmistakably his bearded profile in silhouette.
Supposedly the company is working on a product portfolio of home theater speakers, architectural speakers and electronics… yes, kind of like Speakercraft.
Burkhardt left SpeakerCraft in 2012. And it’s been a rocky relationship ever since.
He sued Nortek over his no-compete contract because he wanted to acquire outdoor speaker company Soundcast. That deal fell through.
Burkhardt publicly expressed his disappointment with Nortek over their stewardship of Speakercraft-- very publicly. Now Origin Acoustics will be Burkhardt’s chance to prove he can do audio better.
