Most of my immediate family knows spit about audio equipment but they all know McIntosh first.
I'd say Bose second only because as a "high priced" brand for newbies they certainly have the most exposure at retail, their own outlets, other big box stores, etc.
There aren't enough bricks and mortar stores to walk by and window shop any more which is why the perception of "high end" is too often Bose and its ilk.
