McIntosh Labs delivery issues


Can anyone provide an update on what to expect when placing an order for Mac's MC611 mono-block amps? I read last year on this forum they were backordered and running 6 months to a year for expected delivery.

farne230 I was told by a few Mac dealer/store, that if you personally been to any legit store that sells Mac products, doesn’t matter where, then you can purchase or order any Mac product you want from that store that you visited in the past and they will sell and deliver it to you regardless where you live. For example, I live in CA. and five years ago I visited a McIntosh retail store in New York and since I was there in person, I can now order or buy Mac stuff from them from where I live in CA.

roxy54 you don’t have to believe me just ask any of the McIntosh dealer store and they will tell you.

FWIW, ordered my 611’s in late March of this year.  At that time, the factory said lead time on 611’s was shorter than on other models.  Their guesstimate was two months then.  Actual delivery time was just under 4 months.  Well worth the wait—they are spectacular.   I did get antsy waiting and started looking at other options, but ultimately decided to stay with the 611’s.  Glad I did!

They are a great match for my Vandersteen Treo CT’s.

It looks like I am going to order the 611's and  tube preamp C2700 and AudioQuest Niagara 5000, power conditioner from my local authorized MAC dealer. what is left:  streamer, cd. player, AM/FM receiver and cables ect...  Everyone has been a great help. I will keep you informed on my progress.
