Why the hate for mcintosh amps?

Ummmm, I didn’t buy it because it is more expensive. Not sure when you last check but McIntosh does make a $90,000.00 amplifier, smh. It’s called the McIntosh MC2kw. See what I mean folks. Homework please, homework, lol.

I see a ton of used Mcintosh amps for sale almost brand new. But very few brands like Luxman,  Esoteric etc on the used market.  I spoke to a dealer who said that buyers often trade  Mcintosh amps  for Luxman amps.

I just saw 2 weeks ago two Luxman 900u sell for barely over $11,000.00 each. That’s almost a 50% drop off for amplifiers especially being 19-20k new. Those amplifiers were less than a year old. I do like some of the Luxman amplifiers but I’m not interested in taking a beating from a manufacturer. At that point might as well buy used with warranty left. As far as Japanese high end equipment go, Accuphase is a great choice.

When they get their warranty in line with their prices, maybe.  
My last 3 Mac amps failed during warranty but real close to that date.
NEVER again

My Mac gear is 15 years old and the one failure is the power light on the C2300.
