Relationship between McCormack and CJ?

I noticed that McCormack Audio and Conrad Johnson have the same mailing address in Fairfax, Virginia. Presumably McCormack was bought by CJ - what's the relationship, business-wise and technically between the two companies and their products? Are they now designed by what is effectively the same team?

I guess I'm now curious about other consolidations in the industry. I know that Madrigal and HK control fairly large ranges - who else? Is CJ bigger than first perceived too?

While I knop from personal definition that the label "consultant" can mean a variety of things, I understood that Steve McCormack DESIGNS the products built by CJ that bear the McCormack of Virginia name. The title "consultant" is generally perceived as a lesser role than "designer", at least in product development.

Also, Steve McCormack does excellent mods, as legions on this board have attested. However, keep in mind that this service is ONLY available on products produced BEFORE the CJ buyout (i.e. DNA-2 and prior).
