So your current system can accurately reproduce the sound of this pipe organ from a live performance right? The attached vid is just a recording and falls very short of the sound of actually being there.
Bose acquired McIntosh and Sonus Faber

I have a organ on CD of the eusebius Church in Arnhem.
Which i have attended myself to compare .
Mine do a pretty good reproduction

I've many high quality records, tapes, and CD/SACD's of pipe organ, including the recording above from Zimmermann. Xaver Varnus is another exceptional performer from Hungary.
And yes, quality recordings make all the difference.

I know. Let’s just say there’s PE and there’s PE and leave it at that.
To make real money for no nonsense PE investors you have to mass produce .
Mass produce and Ultimate Sq dont go hand in hand imo

You must have a massive imagination to believe your small system can reproduce cathedral sound of a large pipe organ..

Small .....try to lift one
250 kg per speaker made of 40 mm Hpl .
Its small Bro , volumetric size not mass which is whats really required to move air like a real pipe organ not to mention a lot more than your favorite little CAT amps will pump out for realistic levels ..!
Not saying you don't have bass or cant make a realistic scaled reproduction , just saying its nothing like a real cathedral ..
Whats next racing Bugatti's with your Beemer ...

Its because you sit a lot closer to the speakers .
My speakers dont have to fill a church volume.
And believe me i have owned krell evo 400 monos Mark levinson Boulder 1060 the CAT can pump out bass like no other.
Sticking to the topic luckily there are great boutique brands still to be found .
And because they dont have enourmous advertizing budgets its essential audiophiles go hear them in person at shows.
Make up your own mind so to speak

Its been done on YT already
Bose really bought and wanted McIntosh IMO, interesting to see how they unload the rest ..!
As to the CAT pumping out all that bass , errr , gonna pause on that a bit ..!
Mc intosh produces nice rounded off tube sound / charming on vocals .
If people want that ok .
SF same thing / friendly sound
I already hear the wood / cabinet coloration as soon as i step in the room.

I like FM Acoustics but these components sound best in a all FM Acoustics system.
Add a your favorite brand of digital playback and turntable/tape deck and you're all set with a world class reference setup.

I worked at a PE that sold Ducati to Audi to buy Burger King and Timmy Hortons…..strange world PE can be.
Thats it
PE managers work for investors and what do they want .... more dividends / captal gains to buy ferraris and real estate .
They dont care if the money comes from selling ammunition DVD s toilets computers or hamburgers.
And if the managers dont deliver .... well there is the door dont forget to close it on your way out

No doubt ARC employees are happy they escaped the McIntosh Group and are not now owned by Bose.
Bose Corporation - Wikipedia
Bose had a revenue of 3.2 Billion $ on 2021.
It may be good for Mcintosh and Sonus Faber.
It is getting difficult for small audio company to survive in the shrinking high end audio market.
Harman owned by Samsung also possess whole lot of audio companies.
