McIntosh MC1.25KW vs Luxman M-10X

+1 @stereo5  Couldn’t have said it more eloquently myself.

@deadhead1000,

you made a blanket statement regarding McIntosh that is untrue.  As for what I have, I have a McIntosh C2500 driving a McIntosh MC302 amp driving a pair of GE Triton Reference speakers.

you could have simply looked at my profile to see my 2 McIntosh based systems but I guess that is too much work. 

Your speaker has a "High-Velocity Folded Ribbon (HVFR) tweeter." you proved my point -  unless you don't like the sound of your own system. Glad to see you agree with me.

And you still haven't given the OP any useful opinion or advice.

I gave my opinion and will stick to it. McIntosh sounds best with brighter speakers. that's still not a knock on McIntosh, which again I have owned. It's OK to be a fanboy of a product, but there's still no need to insult another person's opinion. Do you also get riled up about Apple vs. Android too? 

I feel like a McIntosh is going to be more forgiving with bad recordings and with something like a Luxman it's going to really show you how bad the recording is!
