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

I am astounded by the focus people put on the gear...

I perfeclty know why now...

They dont know how to make the better with what they already own...

There is no relation between any system before and after acoustic treatment and acoustic control...NONE...

I dont give a dam about the gear now...

Give me any relatively good speakers, dac, and amplifier, i will make them sound very very good....Any gear...It is easier with the best for sure thats all....It is impossible with very bad cheap design also yes for sure...But i speak about any relatively good one...

Acoustic is the road not a branded name of amplifier save for ignorant reviewer...

It is like most people wanted to sell their taste in gear revealing their complete ignorance in acoustic...

I prefer to sell and educate about a  process...

Ok OP, no disrespect but that was a very ignorant post. None of my 8 pieces of Mc gear did I buy for looks. Nor am I stuck in any way in my decisions. Are you saying that you know for a fact that his Rolland 625's sound better in my system than my Mc 901's. You don't. This hobby is experiencing a renaissance of new growth and people like you are a detriment to this hobby and it potential based on your last post. Generic blanket statements of ignorance. That is the issue with these bash threads and why I chose to speak up. AG should realize their opportunity for growth is hindered by members like yourself. 

Why must people try to fell superior by trying to diminish the choices of others.  I would ask the posters who feel sorry for certain gear owners, would you fell sorry for me because I enjoy driving my 1958 Bugeye Sprite with power nothing over my twin turbo Mercedes?

They suffer from an inferiority complex. 

Because they dont understand the process to create a real audiophile experience with almost any good gear...

And appearence and price tag is the rule among human not basic elementary listening experiments in acoustic...
