Scott is a former Crown staffers who, after Harman shut down the Crown business and product line, became part of the start-up team for LEA Professional. He noted that, as a private company, unburdened and unencumbered by corporate requirements, they created an atmosphere where a totally new approach could be taken. The result has been a hugely successful new line and new approach to audio power amplifiers, placing them in the #2 position in the installed systems market.
