Would McIntosh Auto Transformers affect speaker sound?

ODDFIO YOU ARE WRONG

ALL THE WORLDS BEST SOLID STATE AMPLIFIERS ARE DIRECT COUPLED

GRYPHON, CH PRECISION, BOULDER, T+a, KRELL, DAGASTINO. PASS, CODA VITUS, ETC.

THE ONLY COMPANY IN THE WORLD THAT USES AN AUTOFORMER IS MACINTOSH YOU DONT DESIGN A SOLID STATE AMPLIFIER LIKE A TUBE AMPLIFIER

AS PER LOAD MATCHING WITH A BIG ENOUGH POWER SUPPLY YOU CAN POWER AN ARC WELDER AND PUT POER INO ANY LOAD

And one of the world’s best solid state amplifiers uses autoformers.

About 6 years ago I was considering a Mac for my Maggie's so I called the factory and they recommended against using their autoformer amps with these speakers so I went with with Pass instead which was a terrific match. 

I don’t care what the so called “ audio doctor” audiotroy says about McIntosh.  It is a great, well built, great sounding piece of American Engineering that has a higher resale value than most other brands.  It’s good enough for me and that is all that counts.  

@johnto,

unfortunately, they really won’t work well with Maggie’s. The thing is, Without the auto transformers  the Mac magic is gone and it’s just another solid state amp.
