Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear


It seems like all the high-end dealers I have bought from or talked to think that Mcintosh is living on it's past reputation. The 2 stores that carry it locally are more mid-fi stores than high-end. I have a friend that swears by it but he hasn't listened to his Mcintosh in over 2 years. What do you think?

the term audiophile is not correlated with any audio component. being an audiophile is not a basis for predicting someone's stereo system. therefore an audiophile can own anything and still be an audiophile.

case closed.
I dont think Taters was asking for a definition of the term "audiophile"...missing his point entirely.....
