Is Martin Logan goin to Big Box stores?

Mercedes bought Chrysler, so Mercedes did it to Mercedes. :)

there have been hundreds of hi end companies in the last few years go 'belly-up', move manufacturing to 'built-to-spec' factories in china, or get purchased by investment groups(or larger companies),looking to turn a nice, quick profit. there will be rare exceptions to the later. mcintosh has been one of the few who have survived new ownership, and continued to build on the ideals that the company was founded on. most will not be so lucky, because most don't build a product for the ages. love bose or hate bose....whoever thought a table radio of any persuasion would be selling in 2005.

Have you ever been in best buy? The sales people do not even understand what 5.1 is. Do you think you sales person at best buy will rember your name?

Imagine – a high quality, innovative, state-of-the-art, designed and built-in-America, piece of industrial art sold at Best Buy or a related store – what a shame, eh?

If you really give a hoot that a sales dweeb doesn’t remember your name, you must be terribly insecure. I find having my name forgotten preferable to having some audio sales-twit barely bother to acknowledge my presence because of some inflated sense of ego and self-worth because of the stuff he’s got on his shelf.

Yes, ML's (very) low end speakers have been in the "high end" room of Best Buy for some time, and better models (typically up to the Aeon level) have also been at Magnolia for some time, and the affect on the brand has been exactly what? I’m sure the reason why there’s a long wait list for the Summit is because it’s dreadful, right? Cheapening the brand. Sure, whatever.

Best Buy's derivative Magnolia Hi-Fi also handles Vienna Acoustics, Primare, McIntosh, Krell, REL, etc. Tweeter has B&K, Sonus Faber etc.

Anybody ignorant enough to post the "McIntosh at Best Buy" thread? Chad?

Hey I was just askin, I could care less...I just thought it was interesting......am I ignorant?
