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

@jmeyers I am running Magico A3 pair with Kimber Kable 12TC. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have anything negative with the MC462, I had it for less than six months since I bought it. The dealer was kind enough to bring their demo model of the M10X and let me have it for a weekend. I don’t exactly know if it is because the M10X operating in Class A up to 12W before it switches to AB, it is just so clear and beautiful dynamics from lows to highs at lower volumes. Even at low volumes, you hear the punch of the bass and the hush silence. At higher volumes, the MC462 is very comparable.. But I tend to listen at lower level.. Also I prefer the Meters color of the Luxman over the Mcintosh big blue meters.. The dealer was able to get me a M10X within days of ordering it.. On the other hand I have to wait till June to get the C900U. Between the C900U and the C53, there is no comparison.. I had a demo model from the dealer again at home on that. The C53 simply does not posses the same dynamics as the C900U. I have paid for the C900U and anxiously waiting.. Luxman has been putting several of their models end of life.. I love the C900U a little too much and hence the anxiety

Good Lord!! I started to watch the video, couldn't get past the first two minutes.. What a waste of life and space.. I love my MA352, and it's not because I need to impress my friends.. 

@rman9 You did the right thing by switching off. Notice on the threads (here and on his own youtube channel) how he calls people who disagree with him a "shill"? Conspiratorial, name-calling, angry, mean guy. Whatever he knows about audio, he behaves execrably online and there are way too many better places and people to spend money on audio. I would never recommend anyone buy anything from this guy.

@hilde45  Quite disgusting!! surprised anyone follows him.. 

He reminds me of the guy who said Sandy Hook was a hoax. He has all the appeal of ear wax, yet there are people who love him. Why, I do not know.
