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.

The first of what is likely to be more changes to come.  Who’s up for some Mc headphones or McLifestyle sound systems? Get your wallets ready.
