Changing Of The Guard at McIntosh

We're now a western society of instant gratification and mediocrity.  Large corporte boardrooms and shareholders drive direction for short term profits, damn quality and long term growth.  Who really pays the price are employees and customers with poor quality and longevity.  Acquisitions almost always involve restructuring and layoff.  Short term goals and cost cutting measured in quarters and, at best, 5 years plans to satisfy those board members and shareholders.  That short term thinking,  to "maximize" profits, will rarely sustain long term growth.  "Maximize", that's corporate speak for, plain and simple, greed. 

It is clear that with the new contact info ****@

bose. Com McIntosh is dead 

Bose luxury audio what a joke !

my mc402 and c2300 and Mac sacd player

are in mourning.

will never purchase a new whatever again.

I have been a Mac loyalist for nearly 50 years. (See my virtual system). The gear shown was purchased in 2009. It's been flawless and I have loved every minute of time spent listening to it. 10 days ago I tried to contact tech support via the website contact page. I was looking for advice on how to best connect my MX122 AV processor with an MHA200 headphone amp that I had just ordered. (More on that in a separate post). No response at all. A complete black hole. Bummer. 

Has Bose released a Wave table radio with Mac Meters yet?

@jfrost27 sorry to hear that-I hope its just a one time glitch. I'm not a Mac guy, but would hate to see such a venerable American brand slip. I would guess Bose wanted this deal in order to expand its share of the auto market. I doubt it cares much about the relatively tiny high end audio market. That could if Bose management leavesMac and SF alone to do its own thing or bad if they decide to start stripping out cost by reducing things like customer service.
