However, Ampex audio recorders were never popular in the
UK - and I'd guess the same applied to EMI in the US.

IME the only EU tape recorder brand to get any serious market
penetration in US was Studer/Revox. The Revox machines were relatively
light duty boxes by the standards we're talking, which is not to say
that they lacked durability as they were typically used.

Studer pretty well took over the pro market here too - as others dropped
out. Revox were just about the only machine for high end domestic or semi
pro use - as again others dropped out of the scene.
