    McIntosh Sold!

    No, this doesn't belong in The Pawn Shop forum.

    In my latest copy of The Absolute Sound there's an article on the Clarion corporation selling McIntosh Labs to D&M Holdings of Japan - the same company that now owns Denon and Marantz. Supposedly McIntosh will be a separately managed, separately operated entity. . .

    I really REALLY hate to see an American icon of a company sold to a foreign holding company. While it may not have negative impact on products at all, it's still sad, really sad.

      D&M is starting to compare closely with Harmon International.

            Amps & Speakers from the same company?
            by crytklmass
            Most manufacture's are good at one thing and stick with it. As it relates to high end audio manufactures. So, Here I am thinking, I know it hurts, but my curiosity has gotten the best of me so here it goes. B&W-They make great speakers. Classe'-Makes great amps. McIntosh- makes great amps, but...

            by beden1

            Sad Rotel Story
            by wca156
            :banghead: The sad story starts off with my decision to get a high end HT system a few months ago. (Believe it or not, I started out looking for XM radio when I heard the B&W speakers through a McIntosh amp and was tranformed.) The units that I wanted would fit in to my family room so I had to...

            by Sonnie Parker
            Do you remember what your first computer was?

            As best I can remember in the early 90's we purchased our first computer...

            It was a 386DX (or SX) with I believe 4 or 8MB of RAM and maybe a 200MB HD... with a 13 or 14" monitor. I can't remember exactly myself but I...
