What a great set up.... in about a fourth of the space it should have. I literally get anxious looking at it. 

You?

Julie Mullens of TAS heard the new McIntosh speakers with even more minds and tweets driven by McIntosh equipment and was gushing over them. Go figure.
Ask yourself, do they advertise in Tas?
They’ve had many reviews done in the last couple of years?

From one listener, to the Mac wall.  "They always had great looking and well built stuff. Unfortunately, it sounded like, well, let's just say less than good."

And always getting Golden Ear awards, just a couple here.

Can you imagine, how those 64 x midranges and 40 x tweeters could possibly all work in perfect unison without any smearing at all??? they’d have to be ultra matched not to.

From a reviewer " these speaker didn't quite convey the intimacy or focus of say a traditionally well engineered two way system in a near-field environment,"

Like I said everyone knows Mac owners purchase more for looks than for sound, quality.

And if you object, you probably own one, and also believe auto transformers on solid state amps are the real deal.

Typical of how I've found Mac owners, they'd rather gaze at their equipment than listen to it.
