From what I read, it may appeal to the younger generation but it will most likely sound like crap. Think B&O.   
Disappointing On Mcintosh......help
Lots of McIntosh haters posting in this thread. For the record, I hate overly detailed sound.   I can do without that extra brightness that is all the rage now.   The manufacturers do it on purpose to have too much detail. That way, you will never...

New silversmith fidelium cable
No thanks.  My Canare speaker cables are breaking in nicely, replacing a $1500.00 pair of cables for $129.00 a pair.

@hoytroskap...…………………………...Funny you should mention that, McIntosh as of late has gotten rave reviews in Tone Audio, TAS, Stereophile,  plus many online reviewing  sites.  Are you saying the reviewers are lying or that they and I are deaf?  Have y...

I see the McIntosh haters are out in full force tonight.  I have 2 Mac systems and very seldom have to use the tone controls but if the recording needs a boost then I use them.  I have never heard dull or shrill sound from my systems.  I had a cou...

Sony HAP-Z1ES HDD audio player. FAULTY ?????? a new owner

Have Aesthetic Rhea. Calypso and Atlas Amp Have 12k budget for speakers. Recommendations
I had the Vandersteen 2Ci, 2CE signature 1, and Vandersteen 3A speakers and all weren’t great on Rock and Rock is my main preference.  I was told by others it is due to the first order crossovers.   There are much better speakers if you mostly lis... 
Can you tell me why I didn't like the Reference 3a MM's?

Would you donate a dollar to have these Members Review a Product?
@tomic601 ………………………………..I am a Fluke fanboy myself.  Just bought myself another one with a nice case.

@jbhiller...…………………..You didn''t get it.  I used the examples, myself included, to show that most likely no one here is unbiased.   I don't see it working in these forums.  Also, I have a right to my opinion, like it or not, just like you and ever... 
What is the current market value of the Classe Audio CA200 and the Classe Audio 15 amps ?
I gave away a Classe 15 amp to a fellow Audiogoner.  I believe that amp is from the 1996-1999 era.
