Bose buys McIntosh


End of an era?

I will just put a sticker on my pyrma head phones. I got them on line because they were SF but never liked them and gave them to my son. Should have seen the writing on the wall then….2016

I would absolutely expect the very highly regarded Mac and Sonus Faber brand names will be milked for all they are worth. That just means some new and but hopefully quality products targeting a larger market might start to come under those brand names. Does not necessarily mean the the "high end" items are no more. As long as they are profitable.....

We will see. THere are surely a lot of smart and successful people involved who will continue to release a wide range of good quality products that people want (I hope).  I will look on the bright side until proven wrong.  Would not be first time....

My bet is my Mac/SF product consumption personally can only go up assuming new high quality yet cost effective products come to fruition.

Harmon acquisition of Roon has worked out well. Roon was a performance and reliability mess prior. Much better since! Hopefully all teh corporate resources invested means even brighter results down the road.  

Formalized technical support is still virtually non-existent.  I would fix that soon to help pave the way to more happy customers down the road.

How many others out there are contemplating listing every item they own on the for sale site?

It will be interesting to see what happens with market value of current and vintage Mac and SF gear. Could be a money maker for those willing to sell. We will see.  Maybe I can sell my SF Concerto Domus for a hefty profit to buy much bigger Olympicas for less.  :^)
