I have seen some Interesting comments about Mcintosh lately

These comments come from here and a couple of other sites.

1.The only people that buy Mcintosh gear are one's that just don't listen.
2. Mcintosh is what rich people buy just like Mercedes Benz.
3. Mcintosh relies on generational buyers as a business plan.
4. Mcintosh is known for rebranding products and putting there name on it.
5. Mcintosh has great looks but uses cheap off the bin parts.

I can't think of another high-end company that have so many stereotypes about the brand. On the other hand I can't think of another audio company that has been in business as long.

Paladin,

The funny thing is people that own Mcintosh or Rolex think they own the best and are not shy to tell you so.

My impression, perhaps too limited in scope, is that the Mac reputation was built on the MC60.  We had a bunch of them in the labs.  Their new glitzy products seem the antithesis of that amp.

dchang, Its not that Rolex makes bad watches, just that they are nothing special unless you just happen to really like their casework. You buy their case and their reputation much like a lot of audio equipment you see advertised in the audio magazines. And get about the same amount of accolades from those who notice but don't really know.
