McIntosh - is it that great?

Like many such threads, the OP did in fact get the answer he was looking for, yet it has gone unnoticed.  Scroll back through and find the responses that specifically mention music.

Love Mac gear!

     Auditioned a mac amp with sonus faber speaks and the music hall CD player, Pink Floyd the wall cd.

  Sat in the room, he left us, I (I mentioned this before)
had my 2-3 year old kid w me, no kidding, after maybe 4-6 minutes, and my kids fidgeting demeanor, whining, crying, etc, the lil one was sound asleep, as I nearly was. There is a magic to some components, and that was amazing.

   I would say, yes, Mac gear is great stuff, and reliable, or at least the rumors are reliability.     How is their customer service after warranty?  Big bucks I’m sure.
    For some of the audio gear, I would expect more warranties like Bryston, Odyssey, Sanders, BIC, ETC.

   those 1K watt mono’s have been o n my list since they came out.
     Probably won’t happen.
as you can’t buy Mac used and have a warranty.  Don’t like that. 

   Yes, Mac amps are wicked good!

Ive always viewed Mcintosh older tube amps as a music lovers amp.  The 240, 275, MC30 and MC225 are timeless pieces that just sound like real music.
