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

"suggest you try to read more, and post less"

Strong suggestion that you post something of some worth.

Really pathetic. Because someone tells the truth about your beloved McIntosh some of you get defensive.

I know mc well and know modf8ng betterthen most Mc have pretty meters 

partsquality is nothing more then average , many of the mid priced gear not even made in NY ,try China ,not very good  they have been sold for over 10 years I believe to a Korean firm ,Mc is not what it used to be when Audiophiles owned it .

if you like. Pretty meters Luxman is better choice  and made in Japan.

Ive owned a decent amount of Mcintosh gear. The newest stuff is the best Mac gear Ive heard and owned - the C2700 paired with the MC462 was a nice combination. But for close to 17k for the pair "nice" just doesn't cut it. They are reliable, hold their resale and probably the prettiest gear on the market - hands down. But do they sound the best? My completely subjective response is... nope. Luxman, Hegel, LM and Pass Labs (to name a few) sound worlds better. Worlds.
