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?
taters
Classe,Mc,ARC. Three top notch product lines that focus on sound and quality and offer good value on the grand scale of things yet each is unique and will have its dedicated following. Like Mercedes, Lexus, BMW, etc...
No.

BTW...have you seen the Mc turntable? WOW! I find it laughable. I hear it comes with "Mcintosh" removable tattoos and a pack of Lime flavored Kool Aid.
