Why No McIntosh Recommendations?


As I read, and continually read through posts, nobody really talks to McIntosh Products, or recommends McIntosh Products.  Why?  I can understand why they are not getting their just due.  I think their sound stage is incredible and the tube products offer incredible warmth.  I own the 2600 PreAmp, 2152 Amp, and MT5 Turntable.  I love what they do for my Sonos Faber Serafino’s.  I’m a big fan.  Why don’t y’all talk to them more.  Now I know we all have our bias.  And I know that they may be out of many price ranges, but they are wonderful products, in my ears.  

BTW - Currently Listening to Hugh Maskela’s Hope on a Quality Pressings Release!  Sounds superb!  Excellent recording whether you are listening to a CD or a high quality a 180 Release from the original master tapes.

I dig Harley’s, could see myself with a C2600 but a Rolex...no way!!!!  They are just ugly 😊

Who owns McIntosh nowadays?  It's not like it used to be.

See that recent thread about the guy with the humming integrated, and the factory attitude.

This site is not the place for Mac gear unfortunately. Check out "McIntosh Audio" on AudioAficionado.org and enjoy all the Mac comments you care to indulge in. I do agree however on the dislike of the Autoformers, which is why my Mac amp of choice is the MC7200.

shadorne,

I don't understand it when you and others say that McIntosh is overpriced. They perform well, they are reliable, and compared to many brands like Soulution and CH Precision, they're almost cheap.

I tried to be a fan but found I couldn't connect to the music, ditto for Wilson.
