So i own 10 b&w spkrs to date, and approaching my 4th mac amp. They get along. And love driving audis, owned 3 thus far. Learned alot about cars herein tonite.
I am getting a kit out of this thread as I read it and listen to my MC462/Revel combination. One of the best combinations I have owned and within spitting distance of anything I have heard. Revel is another brand that gets no love around here for exoteric speakers that are worse…
10 years ago everyone on here poopooed subs too. Now I see more people coming around to subs though. I own a few amps in the last year or so and I think the Mac is here to stay.
It's funny as hell the negative post I read here about mcintosh. Well let me throw in my two cents worth. I have several different stereo systems in my man cave. The latest is mcintosh c2600 and mcintosh mc402. I also have parasound rogue tube equipment- krell fbb-300. Luxman. Audio research. Regardless what brand name equipment I have all of them sound damm good to me. I do believe the mcintosh gear will out last my other Audio gear. By the way I'm not getting any younger and these damm amps are heavy as hell. Now that's something to talk about back pain. If I decide to sell any of my gear I know my mcintosh gear will keep its value more than any other gear I have.
I love my McIntosh gear A pair of MC601 mono and C2300 tubes preamp. Seems like a perfect match to my Vandersteen speakers. I have been a Mac user/owner since the 70s and will continue to stay with McIntosh. I’ve tried so many different brand out there and to my ears McIntosh is the one. It may not be for everyone’s ears but it is for mine. So, am I out there giving bad names to other brands? No I’m not but I could very easily but it’s not my style because I have class.
