New McIntosh amp build quality


I've been doing some research on the new MC 275 Mark VI. I've only heard the amp for a few minutes. I thought the 275 sounded nice. On another thread, a person stated the new Macs are not built as well as the older ones and in fact said the build was "shoddy" compared to pervious years. Just curious how owners of newer Mac amps feel about the build quality vs the old ones. Maybe a Mark V is a better option. I'm not looking for alternative brands...I have that info that is a mile long. Specifically the build (and sound) of new 275's (or new Mac amps in general) vs older versions. 

Thanks

Yes...Akita. The photo is not mine...but I raised and owned two of them in the seventies and eighties. Best dogs I ever had the pleasure of owning.Beautiful animals...
I still love my C220 nearly ten trouble free years later. I sold the 275 IV to make way for 501s but still miss its way of making everything sound good. The 501s are more accurate and that can be good and bad. 

Never had an issue with any of them, or the 40 year old MR77 either.


It has been my experience that the older produced McIntosh products sounded much better than the ones produced today.

There was a time when you would hear Accuphase, Conrad Johnson and McIntosh in the same conversation.

But all that changed, especially when they turned into:
