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.

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.

"One wonders why a surfer would even wear a watch. Are you timing the waves rolling in?"

They wear watches because some provide Tide Data, which in turn reveal currents that affect wave formation.
Surfers don't need tide data if they're surfing because they're actually physically in the data stream and can see and feel the currents…I wear a watch while surfing to see what time it is, and to show off my cool watches when they're not hidden under my wetsuit sleeve. Note that you should never take McIntosh gear surfing as it is not waterproof (a thread specific addendum…you're welcome).
Since posting on this thread I have become the proud owner of a Casio 200m Solar G Shock watch as well as a beautiful but fake Casio Frogman Titanium 200m watch that might not provide perfectly reliable timekeeping while out catching a wave.
