McIntosh is now inside a Jeep luxury car.


Is this a good thing for the company? It's a nice looking set up inside the car but it's a Jeep. Couldn't they have found a better partner, maybe jaguar or Mercedes or maybe even a Volvo.

I spend a lot of hours driving vehicles.  Why wouldn’t I want to enjoy music while I drive?  I’m grateful some manufacturers offer the option for upgraded audio systems in vehicles.  I’ve had several opportunities to drive the Grand Wagoneer and hear the Mac system, and I found it quite enjoyable.  Certainly, an auto is a challenging environment for music…it ain’t a concert hall.  But, In fairness, I’ve heard a lot of crappy sound at concerts, too.  I find the biggest challenge for good sound in a car is the amount of noise, it sucks constantly turning up soft passages and turning down loud passages (I wish car audio systems had a compression knob).  The Grand Wagoneer is pretty quiet, which improves the experience.  I won’t be trading my Subaru for a Grand Wagoneer, but if I was, I’d want the Mac upgrade.
