Bose buys McIntosh

Food for thought. Some audiophiles snub their nose at McIntosh gear. Some call it the poor man’s HiFi. So for some McIntosh is the equivalent to Bose in the high fidelity world. In these cases, who is the audio snob? One who calls Bose unworthy of being audiophile quality or the one who calls McIntosh unworthy of being called audiophile quality? It’s all relative. BTW the Bose 901 was an iconic speaker in the high fidelity world back in the 70’s and 80’s.

In 1977 Harman accepted an appointment in the Carter administration as Under Secretary of the United States Department of Commerce. Then US law required appointees to have no direct business interests in day-to-day activities. When Harman took office in 1976, he sold his company to conglomerate Beatrice Foods for $100 million^[21] to avoid a conflict of interest. Beatrice promptly sold many portions of the company, including the original Harman Kardon division, and by 1980 only 60% of the original company remained.

Bet you didn't know that!  Yes, Harmon Kardon.  How weird.
