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."

Details here.

No surprise with this change at Mac. As noted above, it’s pretty much the standard business model for this kind of acquisition. And it’s not necessarily a bad thing. Only time will tell. I have been a McIntosh owner for 50+ years. (See my virtual system for my current setup). I don’t anticipate any future upgrades, but you never know. 😉. I will be following the company interest. 

Sign of the Times..

Erosion of our institutions, albeit the Mcintosh fans have had a good ride. Now let's break it down and repurpose the parts that have value.

Mcintosh needs more influencers who have tribal instincts. Bose needs a lifestyle coach that can put humpty back together again.

Worked at a McIntosh dealer back in the 70's Vintage gear was much better made than a lot of the stuff available today.  

The beginning of the end?? 

Only ever owned on Mac amp and sent it packing after 6 months.
