Bose Chucks Mac


Just read that Bose is pulling McIntosh from all Magnolia Hi Fi locations. That is going to cut way back on locations that potential Mac customers will have available to them for auditions and the like. Ahh, the wonderful world of corporate buyouts.

Oh look, I found a filet mignon plate on my Dennys menu.  Wrong product, wrong place, wrong demographic, what could go wrong?  Shocking.

It's truly amazing how mis-directed marketing can get involving supposedly smart people driving the bus and braking too late for the BRIDGE OUT! sign.  This was mostly DOA from the onset.  We can be reasonably assured Mac was promised, told or it was inferred that it would be different.  In the end Best Buy is successful on a particular level, not selling Mac.

I was in Best Buy last week looking for an AudioQuest cable in the Magnolia section, but they didn’t have what I wanted. A nice young man came up and asked if I needed anything. I said no, but thanks for asking. Without prompting he said, "Those cable prices are crazy, aren’t they?" I said yes and went my way. If that’s their approach, no wonder Bose is looking to get out. ;-)

My experience with the Silver dealer out here at the north Houston (Woodlands) Best Buy was unimpressive to say the least although the sales guy was great. Not high end by any means. I ditched my order after a four month delay (with zero Mac feedback and went with Pass. Mac needs more and better dealers and hopefully Bose has figured that out.
