I had a pair of Mirage M3si and sounded best with my Krell FPB600. I would never consider using tube amps with Mirages.I wrote about my experience auditioning Mirage M5si’s with McIntosh 300w monoblocks. I assumed everyone understood that these are solid state. I’d also never dream of driving the Mirage M_si series with a tube amp either, what with their large enclosures with dual 4" ports, But those SS monoblocks? They sounded really nice with the M5si’s.
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.
