McIntosh are not my cup of tea.Doug Schroeder I agree this year I heard the Mcintost set up way better than previous one at Axpona.With the right speakers they shine.
An Audio Amateur's question about McIntosh Audio
I casually follow and read many of the mainstream audio gear magazines and YouTube reviewers. Most of them will publish annual lists of their top or favorite devices of the year, decade etc., and through them I am able to learn about high-end distinguished brands and their products.
On the other hand I have also noted from discussions among other audiophiles that equipment from McIntosh is of very high quality.
What I have noticed, however, is that I don't see any of the magazines or professional/semi-pro reviewers include a McIntosh product in their top recommended lists.
Why does this dichotomy exist? If McIntosh is so good why don't their products make it into top XYZ lsts?
I am a newbie and I might be missing something obvious. But I'd appreciate some education here.
Thanks,
Amit

@chrisoshea - you're certainly right about 'bass', but if you're gonna be correcting people's spelling on public forums, you're gonna be a very busy fellow. |
Really? You think McIntosh buyers are actually "awestruck?"
Would you please explain how the industry ran "roughshod" over Mac? Do you suspect some kind of conspiracy? |
