A friend of mine told me that McIntosh Laboratory (one of the high-end
outfits rumoured to be in financial straits) is, and has always been,
wholly owned by Sony.  I have been familiar with the Mac line now for
almost 20 years and have never heard this before.  Can anyone
confirm/deny this?

Also, any word on the financial status of the ailing companies? 
McIntosh, Acoustat, and Mark Levinson, come to mind.  I don't know
about Mac, but the other two had exhibits at the most recent CES, so
they may be down but not out.

Thanks,
