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

My last comment here. Those of you in this forum that post this elitist BS only do it because you know it "stirs the pot" in this forum. I guess it makes you feel better about yourselves to insult and belittle the choices of others. Nice maturity level. 

I do not have a REALLY deep listening experience with Mac Intosh (there are several lines of products in the last decades so different ) but as a reputation I vuold compare it to Apple ( they are both MAC 😂) ... a class apart. That's why some people adore them, others hate them 🤷‍♀️

@laoman

Why the PM to me directly instead of just asking in front of everyone in the thread? It is elitist BS to insult others because of what they prefer. This thread isn’t about bashing McIntosh gear. It’s about bashing people that own McIntosh gear.

Not good for show.  They are ugly.  Pointless gothic script.  They are worse than ugly.

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.

"People like you." Well, thanks a lot. But you’re confusing what I’m asserting with what I take the video to be asserting. You’re "shooting the messenger." Such misreadings hinder the discussion. Re-think it.

I assume you’d agree that there is a difference between pointing out what is being said with agreeing or endorsing what is being said. You can see from the OP that I’m not endorsing. It’s being said in the video, it’s fatuous and hobby-damaging nonsense, and I’ve called it out. Others here (like @jjss49 ​​​​​@oldhvymec and all the other Mc owners) have provided the disproof. It’s called a thorough debunking and in my opinion, it’s better to debunk BS than pretend it doesn’t exist. At this point, I’d consider the video debunked.
