Bose buys McIntosh


End of an era?

Ha ugh.. ma252? That’s right up there in the statusphere… been pretty clear on my low end stuff. How’s your Rolex submariner keeping time?

Watches are stupid and so are blue meters. 

Just means your have a tiny tweeter. 

I think it is a great fit.   One lifestyle brand buys another.   Remember the jingle:  No highs, no lows, must be Bose.

Food for thought. Some audiophiles snub their nose at McIntosh gear. Some call it the poor man’s HiFi. So for some McIntosh is the equivalent to Bose in the high fidelity world. In these cases, who is the audio snob? One who calls Bose unworthy of being audiophile quality or the one who calls McIntosh unworthy of being called audiophile quality? It’s all relative. BTW the Bose 901 was an iconic speaker in the high fidelity world back in the 70’s and 80’s.
