McIntosh- Sweetest, Smoothest sounding Solid State ?

OP: Whatever gave you that idea?

Even Sugden is smoother and more organic than McIntosh, to my ears.

I have to imagine that since the OP has been a member since 2015, he is aware of the strong polarized feelings his question would provoke, and just wanted to see what would ensue.

you’re right @roxy54

gotta love sh*t stirrers...

lets see...

digital sucks, analog rules
class d is da pits, class a all the way
b&w’s are sweet and smooth, no?
tube amps aren’t romantic, they are dead nuts accurate
schiit freya is the best tube preamp in the universe
anti skating is for fools
anything you can hear, i can measure
don’t buy chi-fi - screw the commies
my synergistic fuse transformed my system...
tektons rule

💩💩💩💩💩

Maybe.
