Why the hate for mcintosh amps?

Let me quote myself so hopefully it becomes clear. 

"If, to me, there is no discernible difference in sound between components (preamp, amp, speaker, etc.) I will always choose the one with better visual appearance and craftsmanship.”

How do you infer by logic that I mean lower sound quality? I clearly stated that if there is no discernible difference in sound between components I will choose the one that has better visual appearance. I have no idea how that equals selection of inferior sound quality. 

I love the gate keepers on this forum. Even questions about what people do for a living in order to attack their comments. Who cares what I do for a living. Why in the hell is that even important?

I am lazy and dont work.  Like good looking anything.

You are absolutely correct.

To me, the hate is unjustified (unless the price is concerned). Sometime ago I replaced my tube integrated in my main system with a Macintosh solid state amplifier the sound clarity was obvious vs the tube amp. Then I replaced the McIntosh with another SS power amp and a preamp with the total  cost of about the double. I didn't use the McIntosh for some years since then. Recently i have hooked it up in my second system. Is the SQ twice worse than that in my main system? Not really, in fact the differences are not that  huge. The base sounds good and natural, piano is also fine, instrument separation is really good, high frequencies are also ok. Perhaps it lacks a bit the body, still the soundstage is not really flat. The built quality is good and it has a lot of features. Do i like the blue illumination? No, but I have it off. The balance works perfectly well, doesn't get hot ever. For me,  the SQ is not luxurious but it is more than decent and stable. Now I am no longer sure if I have to sell it.
