Mc Intosh Need The good bad and ugly?? Should i

I own the 352, 2102 (tube) , 162 amps - also the C2200 tube preamp and the solid state C42 preamp - I also own the 6850 integrated and the oldie 6100 integrated. I love them all and they are all in some system I have around the house and office. They are very natural sounding and mate well with many speaker systems. I also own the changer and 851 DVD player. It seems some people hate the stuff - some without ever listening. The newer amps seem to be getting better press over the last few years.

i own the 602 and use it with a c22-ll preamp...it is an amazing power amp....although rated at 600watts per channel it performs as well as my quad ll jubilee mono blocks when it comes to realism....and its rarely used more than peaks of 20 watts per channel to drive anything from charles lloyd to deep purple...it also hits bass notes more articulately than any other so called brute of an amp on any commercial loudspeaker i've had....a tremendous build quality to boot,,,go mac go!

I won the Ls-360 speakers and WS-350 surrounds. I am commenting because I am extremely impressed with the customer service at Mcintosh. Best company that I have ever done business with. I wish that I had purchased all Mcintosh gear. With my speakers, they have given me very specific advice on how to place them and even tips on inverting the tweeters if I want to sit closer. They are very quick to respond. FIRST CLASS SERVICE!!!

I have the MC602 mated with an Hovland HP100 linestage, driving the B&W 803Nautilus, and the sound is awsome. Prior to this, I had the MC352 and the C2200 tube pre, and I was also very happy with the clarity, neutrality, and coolness of the amp. It never run hot, unlike other brute amps out there.
I don't know why so many people are knocking Mac stuffs when they didn't even give it a chance to listen to Macs, and at least check out the built quality of Macs.
Email me if you have any other question.
