Curiousity killed.....


Just wondering why say Mcintosh does not have transferable warranty and Bryston does.Both longtime institutions,well thought of,both made in USA on the same shoreline,yet that one difference which can be large.Don't spend alot of time on this one,thanks,Bob

Very interesting Tbone...yes,Onemug,your second sentence holds the obvious answer,though I think a call to McIntosh might provide some more illumination on some specifics I was searching for....now to find a Japanese interptreter....thanks men....
mac and bryton at least should be around to honor their warranty. hi end companies are dropping like flies.
As far as I know, just the ownership of McIntosh changed when it was purchased by D&M Holdings; management policy would not have changed; and if it ever comes to actually wanting to contact the McIntosh parent, D&M Holdings (stands for "Denon & Marantz"), at least a few members of top management at D&M speak excellent English). The parent company's website is here.

i certainly can't predict the future, but any company thats not well funded and/or profitable is a likely candidate. most recently meadowlark was a shocker. it takes lots of capital to fund a company which is growing dramatcally. in the last 12 years over 50 british hi end companies have either closed their homeland manufacturing (hello china) or closed down completely. a warranty(like any agreement)is only good if the company sticks around-and honors it.
