Why the hate for mcintosh amps?

Why because i cannot stand checkpoint charlie… i was ripped off by a dealer, and my general manager at a store i was doing it work for,  and he Would not  even look into matter… that directly involved them

I will use another movie quote“I dont think you are feeling me on this tom” …….. “swat”  in terms of my ripoff situation…

Ok lets forget about Mcintosh and just say " all audio is subjective for the listener " Personally I feel the finest reproduction of Audio is Steinway Lyngdorf but that's another topic for discussion that I would absolutely love to go toe to toe with anyone. Moving on - I think conversation and reading various opinions is not only fun but beneficial assuming you have an open mind and don't take what is being said personally. I will open a conversation later specifically relating to PE and the AV Industry. I would appreciate your feedback as it will fuel my newsletter and possibly my podcast - Thanks Tom 

The Tom i am making reference to was and is a mag sales rep and was my GM at a shop, i was never paid and i never for got what i was trading for, and Charlie Randall wouldnt lift a finger to go look into the issue with a mac trade at a mac dealer, and my part of the work was done

You stated that you are a dealer, which to your great credit you havent attempted to hide. I’ll take that at face value and good for you.

If you are in fact a dealer though, now that you’ve listed your opinion of "the finest" product, Steinway-Lyngdorf, that you would "personally" go "toe-to-toe" about I now wonder if you might just happen to be a dealer for that particular product? If so, ironically, you should probably disclose that. Not that I would be a candidate either way. I apologize in the event you are not a dealer for Steinway-Lyngdorf, however, I’m not even a little bit sorry if you are a dealer for their products and did not disclose it.

It might come as a surprise to you as well that, if memory serves, Steinway is owned by a VC/PE firm controlled by John Paulson. I also think (I’m not certain) that Lyngdorf is privately held by Peter L. along with investors, which again, could be properly categorized as VC/PE.

And finally, I prefer not to participate with your newsletter, podcast, twitter, instagram, reddit, facebook, etc. Especially if you are a dealer for the product in question and failed to disclose same.
