Why the hate for mcintosh amps?

roxy54

I was replying to a question about whether I need a sub with my B&W speakers. This was referenced to my earlier post in this thread about my pairing with my McIntosh amp.

I used to have MC352 and 2100 (tube inside )combo for several years back I am in China.  During the listening period,I have deep understand of the sound. 
The key points is slow speed sound, and fat bass,with these 2 points you can never hear the real feeling of live perference if you have the CD.
But some old guy might love it,their sound is relex in some way. if you are  not ask  accurate  music,and you can accept their bass,you will take it.
With  these 2 points,I do not like either of them. so I sell out and enter Audio research world,which is whole different sound with fast speed and 3D body is quite large,do not mention the passion of the sound.

runwell,
Neither the MC352 nor the MC2100 have tubes in them. They're both solid state.

Roxy54,
       I mean the preamplifier is tube one,if I do not remember wrong,it is 2100. I try to check online,but do not find out.

It is C2200 Mcintosh tube Preamplifier.

Even it is Tube Pre,it is big big different from Audio Research Pre.
