| Reliability To me, reliability is EXTREMELY important. I have $35,000 in McIntosh components and Sonus Faber speakers. I've owned Mac since 1984. I've had 1 problem with a component in all this time, and the company was very responsive in repairing it. I've b... | |
| Any opinons on McIntosh 7084 tuner? The 84 is a digital tuner.Analogue tuners are far superior. | |
| Anyone has experience with Mcintosh EQ? I own a MQ101. The manual states that these eq's are made to co-inside with Mac speakers and may cause other speakers to be over-drivin, which, of course is not good. | |
| Are you Guys Rich or What!? Hey Tom, Go to audioclassics.com. Speak to a guy named Frank Gow. He will set you up with a great system for WAY less than $50,000, probably $10-15k. They sell used as well as new, but, the thingf I like about them kis there used gear, if listed a... | |
| McIntosh - is it that great? I totally disagree with Frep's response, "Mac would have disappeared if not for Clarion's buyout" 1st off, Clarion did not "buyout" Mac, but did sink 60 million into the company which allowed them to get into car audio among other things. Mac make... | |
| Why do people think I'm nuts involving audio? To all of my audiophile friends who responded to my inquiry about my friends thinking that I'm "audio defective" THANK YOU ALL! You're comments have truly helped me The underlying theme that I heard was basically "enjoy it and keep to myself" unle... | |
| Best Male Singers of the 20th Century Come on now! Can one REALLY be considered the BEST singer, or guitarist, or pianist or whatever. It's all a matter of personal taste, but how can one say Sinatra is better than Benett or Whitney is better than Aretha, or Clapton is better than Bec... | |

| Mcintosh Equalization As for Mac EQ's, Geneis writes of the 107, which I have no knowledge of, but I own a pair of Mac speakers, the Ml's and with them have a MQ101 Mac eq. It was made SPECIFICALLY for Ml's and can cause distortion in other speakers. This is written in... | |
| Speaker wire - equal length or shortest? There is a gentleman named Frank Gow at Audio Classics in Vestal, NY. He is an audio wiz, who said to me that cables DO NOT have to be of equal lenghts! | |

| Insurance On Equipment A rider on the policy is needed with a complete listing of every component and it's cost. You will also need receipts for each unit. There is a charge for each $1000 of cost and each insurance company is different but I'd imagine that they are all... | |
| Which is better, live performance or on your system? For me, even though I own a system that cost me about $33,000 to date, and as good as it sounds to me, a live performance is a live performance, and a CD on a $200,000 stereo is, and will always sound like a CD on a good stereo. Granted, it will s... | |
| The worst sound system The patrons in the bar could care less what the sound of the music is like. They are their merely to drink. Period!!You on the other hand obviously care about your sound and probably own a good system, so it's only natural that the sound in the ba... | |
