The Bose automotive division covets McIntosh's place in the luxury audio market. This could make sense, but what about the McIntosh Group's other holdings, namely Sonus Faber? What of them? How long until Bose sells Sonus Faber and other brands to the highest bidder? Only a matter of time.
Most high-end brands are cottage companies and are being acquired by bigger mass market audio brands. Luckily there are enough cottage companies left . Those take overs are not beneficial for Sq imo What you get is a mass market /please everyone product/ approach . Mc donalds SQ
