Interesting, McIntosh owners don’t feel the need to bash other gear. While owners of other gear seem to have to justify their purchase over McIntosh. Just an observation.
I noticed the same thing. No one likes the same things, or sounds. That is what makes the world go round. No need to bash. I appreciate everyone’s opinion, and I know everyone feels strongly about their purchases, but come on, we all have the same passion.
I almost bought a MC275 a few years back but ended up going a class integrated SS with Luxman.... As for rolex analogy I buy my Rolex SS models from the dealer new wear them for a few years. And sell them at 40%more on average. My hulk cost £7k odd and they sell now for £16k after 1 year (luckily a discontinued model?) Wish I was selling hifi for more when it goes.... 🤑
They have some clever new design innovations but accuracy will never beat some great automatics from grand seiko... But I think of rolex as jewelry... If I am doing DIY or sport or travel I don’t really wear them
I find it hilarious people say McIntosh is uber expensive and for Dr's and lawyers. If they knew much about the industry and prices of other high-end components they would definitely change their mind and find it very affordable in comparison. I read a review comparing a MC452 vs a 30 or 40k amp (don't remember the name) and the Mac more than held its own. If you know or do some research I think McIntosh is a bargain overall backed up by its high resale value. Bash away I don't care but most haters really don't have a clue.
