McIntosh C2300

Hi,

I am looking to buy a C2300 and have 2 questions:

1) I am not thrilled about my local dealer and am looking to buy it from a dealer that I have done business with in the past and was my local dealer when I lived in PA. The owner's manual states that over the phone sales or product purchased and NOT installed by an authorized dealer void the warranty. Is this reality or hype? My dealer in PA is a reputable authorized dealer.

2) the owner's manual page 13 states that using the passthru for HT passes the signal from a MCIntosh AV control center or surround decoder. Is there something propreitary to be concerned about? I have a Conrad Johnson PV-15 connected to an Integra DTC-9.8 via pass thru. looking to repleace the CJPV15 with the C2300.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Lou

The tubes are good, the pre-amp sounds great. I use the stock tubes for a good while before I broke it open and rolled 'em.

As an update, spoke to McIntosh VP of sales who will remain nameless. Let's just say that we did not come to a mutually agreable resolution and I will be looking at other companies/products that comparable. More than likely i will buy another CJ which suits me just fine. I will not have any company dictate to me where I can and cannot do business based on their archaic policies.

Thanks,

Lou
