Bose buys McIntosh

Harmon acquisition of Roon has worked out well. Roon was a performance and reliability mess prior. Much better since! Hopefully all teh corporate resources invested means even brighter results down the road.  

Formalized technical support is still virtually non-existent.  I would fix that soon to help pave the way to more happy customers down the road.

How many others out there are contemplating listing every item they own on the for sale site?

It will be interesting to see what happens with market value of current and vintage Mac and SF gear. Could be a money maker for those willing to sell. We will see.  Maybe I can sell my SF Concerto Domus for a hefty profit to buy much bigger Olympicas for less.  :^)

I will not be selling.  I recall having the same concerns when they were bought by the private equity firm that just sold them.  None of those concerns became reality.  Other than some questionable branding of “wearables” the article is all about reaching customers in the luxury brand segment.  Not sure how you reach those buyers by diluting the brand you acquired to get you through the door.  McIntosh sales are up year over year and the article sites a 12% growth in luxury brand sales.  While I understand the concerns it doesn’t read that way to me.  Even if it all falls apart, I will enjoy my pre sh*t show integrated and lament the passing of a once great brand.
