I have been very happy with the McIntosh / Thiel synergy I went from a Mc 300 to a Mc500 with my CS-6's and now finally the Mc 500 to the new Mc 602 with the 7.2's in all cases I was happy with the performance but also felt justified in the upgrades. Speaking of upgrades that is a real plus with Mc they seem to trade easily on the open market although heavy and akward to ship they seem to keep a good portion of their value in a very volatile market
