McIntosh Group purchased by PE firm

Well I doubt very much if this means higher quality caps, trannies and other essentials.

Probably send it lock stock and barrel to Shanghai.

I don’t know… can understand where you are coming from but I think the big business lesson from the pandemic and war in Ukraine is that it makes sense to keep your suppliers closer to home, and possibly in friendlier countries. 
 

I’m not saying they’ll go back to 100% made in the USA of highest quality parts. But, wouldn’t be too quick to see them invest further in overseas production.

Just my $0.02, what do I know.

I saw the notice earlier, I hope the company fairs well. Lot's of polarizing opinions on here about their equipment. Regardless, it's an American company and I wish them well. 

Happy Father's Day to all the dads!

"I’m not saying they’ll go back to 100% made in the USA of highest quality parts."

It's delusional to think any American  audio company is making 100% American made/sourced product and thriving. That model was extinct decades ago.

If anything, it will see Macintosh increasing the amount the amount of offshore practices in the manufacturing process. 

The new company is beholden to investors expecting nothing short of returns. When that fails we will see Mac passed to a Chinese investment firm paying BIG $$ for the name.

I hope I'm WRONG.
