I find this so strange

Jea...just saw your post. Still don't understand the high end profile with the new mass market name.

Like I said in my previous post, new owners. And as I said I think Charlie Randall had a lot to do with the name of the new parent company. I personally like the fact the parent company is based in the US.

This is the nature of SO many companies in this business. It's my biggest complaint. I follow a company and their products only to see them bought out or the owner dies and the company goes down hill. So sad.

In this case with the new owners the companies will be better off, imo.

Grange and Randall Lead Management Buyout of Fine Sounds Group in Partnership with LBO France and Yarpa
.

It appears 'Fine Sounds Group' was bought out last year by Mauro Grange and Charlie Randall in partnership with LBO France and Yarpa. Charlie Randall may have had a lot to do with changing the name of the now USA New York based company.

Quote from link below:
"After 6 years under the Milan-based investment firm Quadrivio, Fine Sounds Group has been purchased by new network of investors. Mauro Grange, CEO of Fine Sounds SpA, and Charlie Randall, longtime President of McIntosh Laboratory, Inc., lead the Management Buyout of Fine Sounds Group in Partnership with LBO France and Yarpa."

"The acquisition aims to facilitate greater opportunities for global collaborations amongst the product development, marketing, distribution and finance teams of each of the Group’s portfolio of brands, which includes Audio Research Corporation, McIntosh Laboratories, Sonus faber, Wadia Digital, Sumiko and Fine Sounds Asia."
