Why No McIntosh Recommendations?

As I read, and continually read through posts, nobody really talks to McIntosh Products, or recommends McIntosh Products.  Why?  I can understand why they are not getting their just due.  I think their sound stage is incredible and the tube products offer incredible warmth.  I own the 2600 PreAmp, 2152 Amp, and MT5 Turntable.  I love what they do for my Sonos Faber Serafino’s.  I’m a big fan.  Why don’t y’all talk to them more.  Now I know we all have our bias.  And I know that they may be out of many price ranges, but they are wonderful products, in my ears.  

BTW - Currently Listening to Hugh Maskela’s Hope on a Quality Pressings Release!  Sounds superb!  Excellent recording whether you are listening to a CD or a high quality a 180 Release from the original master tapes.

I’m late to the Mac party probably because I considered the brand snobbish. The current products I’ve heard are impressive for their price, power and sound. Not for budget shoppers, but definitely for anyone considering next level brands like krell, mark Levinson, Classe and the like. The MC611’s took my Blades to another level from the softest volumes when I wouldn’t expect power to matter.

" lifeless sounds" @lalitk is very accurate description.

Their sound is flat and slow, it becomes the style, at least as far as I know some people love it. It make people related and release during the listening, who doesn't care the the music itself but will get relax from the listening.

Old guy in China and Japan are the main customers.

Ignorant comments. I wonder if you have ever even heard Mac gear. They didn't become famous for selling bad sounding gear. By the way, what are you famous for? It couldn't be sentence structure.

@roxy54 what are you talking about? Famous brand doesn't meaning good for everyone!  McIntosh 's sound has their feature and people in hifi field just don't like it. I tell the true fact! What the problem with you? You are stay away if you comment that way.
