Bose buys McIntosh


End of an era?

I’m betting pre-Bose acquisition McIntosh products will hold up well on the resale market. It’s a known entity with associated quality & sound.

Private equity groups do this all the time. Pay big $$, over leverage, and then sell for bigger $$$. Economies of scale can be done without affecting quality. Of course, prices will go up to help Bose recoup some of its investment. 

Now I can sleep at night knowing the Bose company has finally acquired Mcintosh. But isn't that like Radio Shack buying out Conrad Johnson?
