Why the hate for mcintosh amps?

@tzh21y  I am wondering Mc275 has auto bias or not?

Cosmetically the WWE of electronics!!!

Whatever that means...

Very good question. I’ve used McIntosh amplification, pre and power, to win more ‘best sound at show’ awards at venues like Rocky Mountain, AXPONA, and T.H.E. Show than I can count. I also use them in product development in my reference system. They’re dead neutral and bulletproof. I think what a lot of guys don’t understand, it’s the system set up, not magic shiny boxes, that deliver great sound. Audiophiles on the never ending merry-go-round are constantly looking for the next magic box that will somehow transform their stereo; I call this affliction, Shiny Box Syndrome.

There are a number of audiophiles that think equipment cannot be good if it is popular. Their loss.
