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

Wow, the OP hit a response grand slam with this one. I can't imagine why he was so taken with this odd little 'editorial', but, it brings to mind a point that many of us have thought about at one time or another.

From my experience, I can’t argue with that notion. Who hasn't looked at Mac stuff at one time or another & just said wow? Knowing better doesn’t stop me from having always wanted a room with a gorgeous Mac Stack, but when reality sets in, I know I’d just be buying some really cool looking and expensive decoration when that money would be better served buying something sonically spectacular.

Mac guys are hard core right? The real "Marantz" crowd makes Mac guys look like beggars in the streets. Talk about hard core. THEY love their Marantz Tube gear. Try to buy, some of that gear.. They don't even list their gear any more, they just pass it amongst themselves. They don't even call it gear. :-)

How does it really sound? Like Marantz tube gear. Yup sure does.

Regards

We Sansui cultists eat any Marantz or McIntosh guy each day....

Their gear is chicken shit...Anyway we eat them....

Joke aside!

The worst is people commenting highly costly gear in non specifically controlled room ...They delude themselves listening the difference between amplifiers for example instead of creating a specific environment for a specific amplifier and not for another one...They ignore the acoustic power to bent the room in relation to a gear choice...

The consequence is they listen more to the sound of the chosen gear than to the music coming from the room.... When we read their review it is evident....

The truth is i prefer to keep my 500 bucks Sansui/Mission system with my controlled room not because my system is better, this would not be a true statement nor a meaningful one, but because my system optimzed give me a ratio S.Q./price over the roof already even if their potential S.Q. may be better...

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.

I do agree with you that there is a difference. After reading that you weren’t endorsing his video I apologize for stating you posted this to stir the pot. 
 

I think it’s best that I stay in the music topic.
