McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer

Getting tired of the people questioning hilde45's motives. The bigger picture, by maybe 1000 to 1, is Mike Powell's arrogance. And that is coming from someone who normally doesn't believe in the accuracy of reading someone else's mind. (Arrogance.) But Mike has truly crossed a line in this thread. He needs spiritual help and I truly hope he gets it.

DO UNTO OTHERS 

“ You’re holding on to negative feelings and continuing to lash out about him makes it seem like you believe deep down you or your gear is inadequate “

You might be onto something there @vuch 

Birds of a feather. 

Contributing as usually I see. 

No ones feelings got hurt, but there is a point where empathy can.

Mr/Mrs @vuch comes out of no where and you think insulting Mac owners by joining in is a wise move?

As a guy that owns Sansui, Marantz, WE, Mcintosh, VTL, ARC, AR, Cary, Rogue, Pass, Threshold, Sony, Classy, BAT, Dodd, HH Scott, Heath, Fisher, Pioneer, Ampzilla, Krell, ML, First Watt, HK, Victrola, RCA, Philco, Accuphase, Manley Boulder, DIY and a few more I'm pretty sure "inadequate" anything is NOT the issue. 

Mr. Mike made statements that a lot of other folks haven't experienced with Mcintosh. Mac is a lot of things but BAD or MidFi just isn't one of the things they are.

I wish Mr Mike well and all of his customers. I guess insulting folks is one way to pick up certain kinds of customers.

I saw a guy kicking at a dog that was trying to get in the police car with him. The police gave me the dog. I kept him for 12 more years. Hoop the dog. He'll be the third one to lick my face when I get to heaven.
