No God No! Say it Ain’t So!

This is terrible. If you currently own Macintosh or SF hold on to them. What will come out next definitely be the result of cutting cost where they can. They will sell an inferior product but market the heck out of the brands. I expect 2024 and older equipment to become sought after. I’ve never liked Bose sound, I just bought a car and it has a Bose system and I’m reminded every day how bad Bose really is. Just horrible and now they will take Macintosh and SF with them. Oh well. At least there’s still alot of other audio companies to choose from.

Oh well life goes on for the rest of us just because a company is purchased by someone else doesn't mean that the quality is going to necessarily change.. Volkswagen owns Bentley Lamborghini Porsche Audi Ducati.. And more.. I'm sure we'll survive

Now, you have no idea if that's going to be the outcome...

+1 (I agree, he has NO idea.)

Many people just don’t understand how holding companies and combination of brands work. There at least as many successful combinations, enabling niche brands to spend more on R&D and marketing then there are bad stories.

Everyone just needs to calm down and see how this plays out.

Bose alegedly has bought audio legend Mcintosh ! and Sonus Faber !
see YT videos for perspective !

BOSE they cannot get any good reputation,nor + press or even acceptance among audiophiles by actually producing good great products fr their own creations, workers, engineers so can use the vast $$$$ estate Mr Bose left to buy quasi legitimacy by purchasing legit audio legends !
they are well-heeled corporate raiders!

BOSE makes nothing but s$#% products and never did anything except be the most notorious to rip off and defraud the audio public w/ deceptive slick marketing and shamefully corrupt sales practices.
they have more attorneys than engineers and a case about their s$%# products ended up in the supreme ct ! ( they sued a magazine reviewer! -PS they lost ! ) 

I sadly have a car w/ a Very expensive optional BOSE system ( I am 4th owner i did not choose it ) and their typical level of nonexistent consumer assistance was illustrated by them just telling me to "contact my dealer " ( whom promptly advised I contact Bose as they were profoundly sorry they ever let BOSE do a system for them ( and NEVER will again! )!!!!!

PS this guy Jay’s Audio Lab is as dishonest as 3 $ bill! he is an insufferable boor! 
catch his video about high-end cables his panel could not tell difference in a blind test and he dismissed them saying " they needed to let the cables bed in w/ some hours of listening " ! LOL
OK so he never repeated the test after doing that !
