McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer

McIntosh makes some nice gear as do the folks at,Audio Research.

Is it for everyone?

Nope that is for sure, but neither is PL or Raven or Atoll. That is why there are so many flavors.

It’s like the Ford vs Chevy, MB vs BMW, Different stroke for different folks. Some are so blinded by brand loyalty that hey only live in the world of green meters.

I have had some MAC gear and it was not for me. Will never say they make bad gear though. Classic American brand.

@paradisecom "random doorknob" -- LOL. Stealing that one.

Well said. Ditto.

Some people that have invested heavily in e certain make of equipment display a fierce brand loyalty that transcends logic in order to justify their outlay. Happens all the time: - human nature.

Brand X is always THE BEST.
