McIntosh, your experience?

I have owned several pieces of McIntosh equipment. To quote a previous responder, "...it’s good dependable gear from a good dependable company." Is it as good as Burmester or mbl? I don’t know, because I can’t afford to buy those two brands for a test. I don’t think you will go wrong with any McIntosh products. Try to audition them before purchase, and trust your ears. Resale will be better than most brands when it comes to that.

never owned,
never hated, always loved the gear !!

Admired the look of McIntosh from afar for many years.  For the life of me I don't know why I haven't owned any until recently.  I've been through a ton of gear the last 35 years and finally did a MAC home audition a few months ago.  I was able to A/B a C2700 and MC462 with a PS Audio BHK pre and BHK 300 monoblocks.  I was so impressed that I ordered the C2700 and MC611's.  Beautiful sounding (and looking) gear that I feel I'll be happy with for years to come.

It's been 25 years at least since McIntosh got its speaker expertise in hand.  The stereotype about that is way outdated.  Similarly with the tube vs SS comparison.  Late-model Mac SS amps deliver a faultless and extraordinarily accurate sound. 

All of these are just words, and opinions.  Go listen for yourself.
