McIntosh, your experience?

I’ve owned Pioneer, Yamaha, NAD, Counterpoint, ARC, Pass Labs, and presently have all Mcintosh. The Mac stuff sounds great, looks great, is well built and dependable. It also holds it’s value better than most and I hear the service is very good. I’ve had mine for years and have never needed a repair. The Pass Labs stuff is very good also, and their customer service is fantastic.
ARC makes good sounding equipment but in my experience it blows up a lot.

I have owned several pieces of McIntosh equipment. To quote a previous responder, "...it’s good dependable gear from a good dependable company." Is it as good as Burmester or mbl? I don’t know, because I can’t afford to buy those two brands for a test. I don’t think you will go wrong with any McIntosh products. Try to audition them before purchase, and trust your ears. Resale will be better than most brands when it comes to that.

Admired the look of McIntosh from afar for many years.  For the life of me I don't know why I haven't owned any until recently.  I've been through a ton of gear the last 35 years and finally did a MAC home audition a few months ago.  I was able to A/B a C2700 and MC462 with a PS Audio BHK pre and BHK 300 monoblocks.  I was so impressed that I ordered the C2700 and MC611's.  Beautiful sounding (and looking) gear that I feel I'll be happy with for years to come.
