Bose buys McIntosh

It's not 1950 anymore. Mac won'r be missed.

It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

I think years ago the Clarion group owned McIntosh at one time. Frank Gow told me they had been close to going bankrupt. 

Today's McIntosh is not your father's McIntosh as Mc quality has slipped steadily starting with the demise of the storied "Mac Clinics".  Heck, they still use the legendary Grateful Dead "wall of sound" from the '70s as a marketing gimmick and have turned to sticking blue meters (that break) on every product they build as a substitute for quality.  Let's hope that deep pocketed Bose intends to restore McIntosh to its former glory.
