Changing Of The Guard at McIntosh


From Charlie Randall:

"As we approach the one-year anniversary of Bose’s acquisition, I have made the decision together with the Bose team to step down as President of McIntosh in November."

I have a Bose radio , overpriced and just so-so

. They are mostly a speaker company nothing like the grand McIntosh. This is to me quite a disappointment. You know they forced Charlie out.Probably make all our Mac stuff more valuable now I've a MA7900 and a MR71 tuner finest sounding radio ever made.

I have a MAC 1500 and a MAC 1700, beautiful warm sounding gear from the 1960's and they both look new.  That is where my money goes these days, to vintage gear. 

I expect that this was arranged and contracted for prior to the acquisition of McIntosh; for the president to stay on a year to help with a smooth transition and then leaving with a large payout.  Pretty much one of the normal ways these things go.
