is McIntosh known for good dynamics?


I'm mainly a classical listener. I love good dynamics and dynamic resolution. For instance, in classical music there is a lot of musical expression that comes through subtle dynamic changes from one phrase to the next. There are also sudden louds, which the equipment should present as having startle impact. There are also sudden quiets, which should have a "compelling" sense to them.

I'm wondering if the McIntosh signature sound is known for good dynamics and microdynamics.

My first high-end system was just A few years ago I chose the Macintosh MA9000 integrated with focal kanta3 speakers, Puritan power conditioner 

Shenyatta Delta speaker cables, I just had to have more and I upgrade it 

I'm glad I did. 

Macintosh has a very warm sound and it is different 

I end up getting a more higher resolution more detail stereo amplifier with preamp 

( Separates) I'm glad I did I'm not saying that the Macintosh sounded bad 

It served me well for almost 2 years I just needed something with more detail and more dynamics.
