It's not hate or even just not liking their performance.  
They just don't sound good by today's standards.
I just purchased a new stereo setup today after a lengthy demo:  McIntosh MA8900 integrated amp, Sonus Faber Olympica Nova Vs, and a Roon Nucleus + streamer.  Very stoked on getting this order in and setup in our living room!
@bigtex22 Awesome - enjoy!.  Those speakers are wonderful and I grin every time I turn on my Mc stuff!

@bigtex22 I love SF Speakers and have the Olympica Nova II's and love them.

I am not a MAC hater have owned a couple of their Integrated and they never stay around for long though. Last was the 252 and could not wait to get rid of it.
