Why the hate for mcintosh amps?

Omg, mc is a great speaker. Why people pay 20, 30k for monos astounds me.  Better spending on a preamp/speakers.

maybe debating tubes vs ss in their line has merit. But better doing a tube preamp.

Side comment - amp racks without casters is dumb.

Roxy maybe I was actually auditioning a computer’s internal headphone jack?  By the time I tried to fix misspelling The forum locked my comment.  

Macdonalds vs mcdonalds.  Easy mistake.

I’ve enjoyed my system. Purchased a McIntosh Mac6700 and paired it with B&W 805 D3’s about 5 years ago, added a Rel S/5 SHO sub and never looked back. As a bonus, my Wife thinks the equipment is more attractive then my previous stuff.

I have the same B & W 805 D3 speakers powered by a Bryston amp/preamp setup. My Bryston gear would be in the same price range as your McIntosh components. 
I’m just curious if you feel the the subwoofer was necessary? I auditioned two subwoofers and felt they made the B & W 805s too bass heavy. I was finding myself turning off the sub for most music I listen too. In the end, I didn’t purchase a subwoofer. Do you find you have your subwoofer turned on for most of the music you listen to? I’m not saying you made a mistake buying the subwoofer. I’m just curious.
