Frustrated McIntosh Owner


I’ve been a satisfied McIntosh separates owner for quite awhile. Two months ago, I got the bug to upgrade, so I decided to trade-in my MC462 stereo amp for MC611 monoblock amps. I reached out to my local authorized dealer that I’ve done business with for years, we worked out a deal and placed my order. He told me he expected he would have the monoblocks from McIntosh in about a month.  I called my dealer yesterday asking for an update and he’s now telling me that McIntosh won’t tell him when my order is shipping, let alone if they have been manufactured yet.  He even went so far as to inquire with his McIntosh regional rep.  I trust my dealer and know that Covid has stressed a lot of manufacturers, but the lack of communication from McIntosh to their dealers has got me concerned. Basically what I’m getting is, they will ship when they ship- it could be in 8 days or 8 more weeks, possibly longer.  Have any of you experienced any issues like this with McIntosh lately?  Is this a sign of any bigger issues with them?

Well sure genez but it's better than people getting sick and spreading a virus we all have to make sacrifices it's a pandemic. Sadly that's just life these days in NY and everywhere.
+1 sid42 we don't need this hear the real world is bad enough. And genez the real statistics are out there if you simply take the time to look.
@glupson not sure I understand why McIntosh is a globalist or controller?
@genez New York being liberal or not has nothing to do with anything this thread, McIntosh, or economics.
