Same deal with Jadis around here, Don’t feel Mac is the only lab gets bad rap.
Seriously
I heard
Dyano ST70 modded
Allen Oran KT120 amps
EL34 designed by a loacal master
250 tube designed by same master(pure Colbalt out trans @ 1 G each!!),
Honestly, seriously
straing shooting, they all sound prerrty close to the Defy KT88
Thats 5 amsp, ina blaind shootout you’d be lucky to guess which is on the speakers.
Throw in the Mac, again, lucky guess.

The only thing that really matters is how’s the quality build, meaning repair factor.
Jadis built to last forever with no repairs.
Thats why i like Jadis,
All tube amps sound pretty much same.

I wouldn’t go Mac as they are over priced and too heavy.

Based on what i know about these amps today,,I would not have bought the Defy @  $4K nor modded at $2k

I'd buya  Cayin EL34 , or my friends EL34, or a  Allen Organ mono blocks. 
Of the budget chinese 845 I will purcahse in December.
can't wait....
.= will sound very close to the Defy,,,
 just buying to watch the 845 light up at night in a  dark room,,
sooo, cool
of course while on the speakers...

My friends 250/6 watt tube amp with pure colbalt  out trans $3300,
= same bass slam as this Mac on most speakers

This might  be part of your answer to this mystery, of **Mac Bashing**

who REALLY needs 
200 pure true bonifide 200 watts per cahnnel??
My WBers really work best with 1 watters.
Defy @ saolid 100 watts, using linestange at say 9 oclock = 85 watts NOT needed.
My friends 6 watt 250 tube, at 10 oclock its 85SPL 
= 4 watts NOT  needed.
200???
For what? magneplanar 3 pannel speakers?? Guess so.
The green bling. The green LEDs under the tubes. Otherwise, the old MC275 is a classic.
What makes you think of it as hate.

I have McIntosh gear - sounds wonderful. 
That doesn’t imply other manufacturers don’t make awesome sounding equipment. 
Additionally, my statement doesn’t suggest there’s a value per dollar associated with McIntosh that’s better or worse than other manufacturers. 
Enjoy the music. And the system you’re listening to in the moment because life changes:)
