Why the hate for mcintosh amps?

1) Why dont people,like mcintosh?
 

2) Who motivates this?

3)  so what are the alternatives?? 
 

1-  considered Too expensive by some,  They prefer a different sound

2-  You 

3-  Too many to List, shop around 

I do not get why anyone would dish McIntosh myself. True they are not flashy sonic wise and stick to tried and true technology. Their voicing is in the safe zone so they do everything right, but nothing that has a WOW factor that calls attention to itself. They offer no audio bling to drawn you in, they just sound right. Others would argue that their Auto-former technology sort puts o choke collar on their sound so they are not the last word in dynamics and punch.

It is a matter of taste, I really like Macs because they do not try to be glamorous but have substance. Tried and true technology that lasts for years. They are not a company that engineers it product to be in line whit the latest audio fad, but built and voiced for the long haul. 

Mc seems value priced.  
how long to breakin ss amps?

walkertm,

I think that is a fair assessment of the brand.

simply put, their sound is far from the live sound,and that is reason.
