No God No! Say it Ain’t So!

@larsman Like I said First World Problems. Not like there are not better brands to buy. If Bose and PE firm flushes McIntosh the world will keep turning and people will just buy the next brand. Three threads on the same topic, get a life. 

Old adage: When in danger or in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout.

Meantime, my Mac system sounds just as good as it did before the acquisition.

Carry on.

I don't think Bose will fool with the McIntosh/Sonus Faber lines too much. Yes, they'll probably take over HR and financials but leave R&D and production in Binghamton. There's probably as much (or more) mystique surrounding McIntosh than any other brand of hi-fi gear. I always wanted a piece of Mac gear and finally acquired a used C27 preamp. Used it for a few years but then found something I liked better. Sold the C27 to a friend who has used it for 20 years and considers it the key component in his system.

McIntosh has been available at Best Buy (Magnolia) for many years. 

Remember when McIntosh was sold to Clarion? It got better.

Wait and see. My friend Hal has a C22, Mc275, Sonus Fabers and a Linn LP12. Fantastic.
