Why No McIntosh Recommendations?

I might agree with dylanmorris, I’ve been in high end for over 40 years and have had and changed every brand possible. McIntosh represents a reliable, well sounding presentation I’m satisfied with at this time and probably longer. Happy with my McIntosh system. 

You become a McFan along the way.  Looking around the room I love the mix of McIntosh products.  I appreciate both tube and tradtional units.  Sitting side by side, a Mc 2102 and a CJ Premier 140.  Both fresh factory complete upgrades.  Each amp presents a uniqueness...probally why I switch between...  
I am a McFan and enjoy my McIntosh products.  

This sure is a love hate topic. 
I’ve heard several high end amps and feel at a certain price point no one amp sounds
bad. The differences are so subtle that  aesthetics and flexibility and trade in value 
play a huge roll for me and I’m sure many. 
Five years ago I picked up a 30 year old
Mcintosh MA6200 for a $1000. My buddy 
who has had nothing but high end Bryston
Amps could not believe how this old Mcintosh smoked his $5k amp in every way. ‘ We both run Harbeth 30.1 so it’s not the speakers ‘
I recently upgraded to the Mcintosh MA 6600 and sold the 6200 for $1,400, $400
more than I paid. I bought the 6600 used
and couldn’t be happier, this is certainly the last amp I’ll ever own. 😎

Not only Macintosh, why no Marantz?
I find the pm14s1 as well as the pm8006 fine amplifiers.....mac does make some beautiful looking stuff, although I've not heard them. 

I don't understand the McIntosh bashing on this post.  McIntosh is of the highest quality and has the highest resale by far of any high end equipment bar none.  That is why they have been in business since 1948 and will continue in spite of the changing and often fickle taste of the high end consumer.  Many subscribe to the flavor of the month club after reading some review of how great this or that amp or pre sounds but most often go back to Mac.  The build quality is second to none, the parts are of the highest quality (epoxy circuit boards, Mot or OnSemi transistors, computer grade caps/resistors and iron core transformers) and they are so well over engineered that most are still working today. They could withstand an atomic blast. They use eight output transistors per channel where others only use four.  I have been repairing hi fi equipment for many years and rarely had to repair Mac equipment.  They greatly out perform their specifications. The factory is most accommodating in answering questions and with parts unlike most other manufacturers.  Recently I was able to purchase an NOS in the box 45 year old "tuning meter" for the repair of a 1700 receiver.  This would never happen with Krell, Conrad Johnson, Mark Levinson or others.  Sound wise I think they sound very neutral and correct over the audio spectrum and are the audio standard that others should follow.  If you don't like the sound then get an equalizer.  No, I do not work for McIntosh but wish I did.
