Why the hate for mcintosh amps?

@roxy54 , Your points have merit. But, the only practical advantages were over 50 years ago when in the early days of ss amplification transistors weren’t very durable. Those days are long gone. Autoformers in ss amps for the last 50 years only serve to compromise one of the advantages of ss amps with typical dynamic speakers, that of adapting power requirements with impedance load. I wouldn’t dream of arguing with your preference,. But “in my humble opinion” such an application is just plain stupid.

I understand your point unsound, but I would like to ask if you have been able to listen to a Mac with and without autoformers.

@roxy54, Yes.
  I answered the OP’s question. And while I don’t care for the Mc sound, I don’t want to just keep dumping on them. I think I’ve said enough.

Unsound, you said:
"Autoformers in ss amps for the last 50 years only serve to compromise one of the advantages of ss amps with typical dynamic speakers, that of adapting power requirements with impedance load."
I didn't understand that comment, as the autoformers do exactly that; that is, they allow the amplifier to deliver full power into any impedance. 

It’s funny how using the right words brings out the ones those words attract the most, the haters. I’ve owned more high end amplifiers than most and currently own a pr of Mcintosh MC611 monos. They’re one of the best amps I’ve ever owned. For all those haters “stop hating everything you don’t like”. As for the original thread post. Why don’t people like Mcintosh. What makes you think people don’t like Mcintosh?
