Bose buys McIntosh

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.  :^)

I will not be selling.  I recall having the same concerns when they were bought by the private equity firm that just sold them.  None of those concerns became reality.  Other than some questionable branding of “wearables” the article is all about reaching customers in the luxury brand segment.  Not sure how you reach those buyers by diluting the brand you acquired to get you through the door.  McIntosh sales are up year over year and the article sites a 12% growth in luxury brand sales.  While I understand the concerns it doesn’t read that way to me.  Even if it all falls apart, I will enjoy my pre sh*t show integrated and lament the passing of a once great brand.

The phone numbers already been disconnected. I guess you got to call Bose.

True. Who doesnt wish they kept the Porsche speedster. My stuff is about as low end as you can go and still call it authentic. I’m just disappointed that my rack dreams might change.. I guess since research is part of all this I should take it as an open door. But definitely feel like the summit isn’t in sight anymore
