Frustrated McIntosh Owner

I’ve been a satisfied McIntosh separates owner for quite awhile. Two months ago, I got the bug to upgrade, so I decided to trade-in my MC462 stereo amp for MC611 monoblock amps. I reached out to my local authorized dealer that I’ve done business with for years, we worked out a deal and placed my order. He told me he expected he would have the monoblocks from McIntosh in about a month.  I called my dealer yesterday asking for an update and he’s now telling me that McIntosh won’t tell him when my order is shipping, let alone if they have been manufactured yet.  He even went so far as to inquire with his McIntosh regional rep.  I trust my dealer and know that Covid has stressed a lot of manufacturers, but the lack of communication from McIntosh to their dealers has got me concerned. Basically what I’m getting is, they will ship when they ship- it could be in 8 days or 8 more weeks, possibly longer.  Have any of you experienced any issues like this with McIntosh lately?  Is this a sign of any bigger issues with them?

New York is a liberal run state and in facing great economic shutdown as a result.  McIntosh is based in NY State. I grew up in NY state.   I have no desire to go back....

When the economy is shut down in an area it has a lot to do with certain factors. I have owned McIntosh equipment.  I used to sell audio as well. 

Well... what can I say.  Even if right?  You will not be able to agree.

jond....   Not so.  Only liberal states are shutting down their economies. Many states are open but with some restraints, and doing just fine.

Stereo 5.... Did you get that from CNN, or MSNBC?

We have a media that has been taken over by a lying political machine that is determined to transform the United States into a nation that will not longer threaten the esteem of inferior systems which are run by political tyranny.

Many people today can not understand how the Germans could have been so stupid to follow Hitler. Guess what? We can know now.

For we have people among us today just as stupid, blind, and hateful...

History repeats itself. The founding fathers who wrote the Constitution would not be surprised in the least to see how so many Americans today are run by selfish emotion, not by principle. If Joe Bidden wins? The United States of America will cease being the USA. Only the name will remain.

Why? Like the Germans who were stupid and followed Hitler? We have the same breed of emotional haters amongst us today..... They will gladly believe anything they are told as long as it hurts those whom they hate and are jealous of....

Case numbers are supposed to go up. Its the nature of viruses.

Why are they testing? To scare the public with large numbers. Why test?  Because, most people show no symptoms.

               "A virus so deadly, you must be tested to know you have it?"

Think about it. They never tested in the past just to see who had a virus. Only those who got real symptoms were counted.

I am not getting my news from Fox news. Hardly watch it.. Where I work I had direct contact with the dept of Health people, and others involved in the medical field. One furious nurse told me that in the hospital she worked, deaths from heart attacks and cancer were being reported as Covid 19. Why? The hospital will receive 30,000 dollars for every C-19 death they report.... She was livid!  That is why see such high numbers! 

When I brought that up to some folks working with the health department? Told them what the nurse told me? 
I was stunned by their response. .... "Yes, we know."

Fake news is the new warfare!
