Changing Of The Guard at McIntosh

The first of what is likely to be more changes to come.  Who’s up for some Mc headphones or McLifestyle sound systems? Get your wallets ready.  

The modern business brand acquisition model is this: "Buy a name brand, raise prices, cut costs"

Reducing staff, cutting quality are the easiest savings results. 

In a world that judges performance on quarters this seems to make sense. In reality, the brand's value becomes reduced. 

No surprise with this change at Mac. As noted above, it’s pretty much the standard business model for this kind of acquisition. And it’s not necessarily a bad thing. Only time will tell. I have been a McIntosh owner for 50+ years. (See my virtual system for my current setup). I don’t anticipate any future upgrades, but you never know. 😉. I will be following the company interest. 

Worked at a McIntosh dealer back in the 70's Vintage gear was much better made than a lot of the stuff available today.
