This might turn the HiFi crowd off of McIntosh......Imagine paying Mc prices for Bose headphones

 

[Bob Boyer]

There went that one...

MacIntrash

I am sure Highlander was thrilled to unload those turkeys...when you are run by private equity, you are on death's door.

Yeah, Blackrock could have taken them......can you imagine the Bose CEO marching into Mac's office like Elon marched into twitter???

Sad

Always thought Bose was all talk and no balls, apart maybe from the headphones which are decent.
Always thought McIntosh stuff was overpriced for what it is and relies more on its' cult-like status.

Sold 15 of my Mamba power cables to a big McIntosh fan who then realised he'd need an extra frame behind his McStack just to support the cables lol.
I gave him fair warning about the cumulative weight but he didn't listen. Thilly wabbit.

Half his completed order. Points for guessing the total weight...?

3.2 stone

3.2 stone

LOL!!~!!~!

 

[Chris Cables]

3.2 stone

That's about 20Kg. Not far off but too far off for points. Sorry lol

I'm guessing you're using that little Thai masseuse that steps all over your back as a weight reference?

Bose have thought they were high-end for decades, even though their 'wares' weren't. This might be a good move and if Bose had the money & Mc was wanting a buyer, there might be some important small print to the deal that people can't see. And it's CNBC coverage - so it's garbage coverage, as usual. It is completely devoid of any important logistical details. In other words -- the usual tripe & fluff...

Private equity has fucked up more companies, they buy them only on the financial reports and don't have a clue how to run them

"Crap'nTosh"

Deep State Cult Owned, Yes, Even Elon and Trump.

Sounds like about 2/3 of the high-end audio industry...

Just seen this one on F'assbook :

 

[Chris Cables]

Love it.
Probably sounds as good, if not better

A lot of shade & hate for McIntosh in here.

I think it is because it is just a sad and unbefitting end for a once great company Tony...
