Apparently McIntosh is being acquired by the holding company which currently owns Denon and Marantz. Any thoughts on how this should impact ones decision to buy McIntosh products in the near term?I was planning on buying a MA6900 Integrated Amp during the fall, but now I'm wondering if I perhaps should hold off. Why? ..A couple reasons: 1) There may be plans to change the model line and I wouldn't want to buy something if it's likely to be immediately dropped or superceded. Yes, this possibility always exists, but it's bound to be a greater possibility immediately following a change in ownership. 2) Might employees - nervous about changes in company head-count, pay-plans, and job assignments - be just a bit less focused on what they're doing?
The primary reasons I'm considering McIntosh is the longevity of the company and the stellar build-quality of their gear; both of these attributes could be be impacted by this recent ownership change.
Any thoughts???
