Love mine indeed. Flexibility with the option of 2 different methods of mono-blocking; parallel or bridged. This allows speaker impedence matching of from 1 to 16 ohms.
Great resell and backing by McIntosh Labs which can service every piece of equpment they've made for the last 60 years or so.
Rolling the small signal tubes provides a benefit though I've heard it may be less critical than some other brands. No need to bias power tubes as the unit is fixed bias. If you like to tinker, like me, perhaps this is not an asset :-).
For the last 4 years mine have driven Dali MS5's to great effect with no service issues.
Admittedly I don't have a lot of experience with other tube brands, but as long as I'm this happy I won't be looking to hard.
