McIntosh, your experience?

50 years I've used them.. Yes they are wonderful. Do you're research on what you want to do first. Stereo, HT, Both.
New or Vintage, and go from there.

There is quite a community, for Mac users around the world..

You can almost always find a part if you wait long enough.

Their service and network of service centers is pretty impressive..
I've never waited over 3-4 weeks, 3  times, out of 35 or so piece in 40 years of using their services.

Thanks.  I have owned much, but not McIntosh and doing my research ahead of any buying.

McIntosh, your experience?

Made great tube amps, back when.
Then lost the way and compromised trying to make SS amps and putting output autoformers on the rear end of them, to make them "bullet proof".
Very much like using a "O" Autoformer on amps that can’t take certain loads to make them handle those loads and be compromised.

THE REAL FIX!!! Just get the right amp to start with for that speaker.
