  "Imo, you are paying for the pretty blue meters....😄"

You're so original audioguy85. I never heard that one before.
That’s what I like about McIntosh, not only they look good with the blue meter, but they also sound incredible.
‘No discernible diff between components’?

A high quality revealing system will reveal differences. Try eliminating reverbs in room, makes it easier to hear component quality changes.  
Not rocket science.
femoore12 - by logic that means you would rather have inferior SQ to a better looking component for the same money. Remember, nothing is ever exactly equal when comparing the SQ of two products.

Are you an interior decorator or something?

Best sound should be the norm on this forum.
