If you’re into true bi amping, it will at least spare you the hassle of separate amp matching, and keep things UNDER $30K for a pair. You get the magic of tubes for the mid/highs and SS for the bass. The only thing about Mac I don’t care for is the green light thing- a little much. I do like the subtle green on my 65 MR 71 FM tuner.

They will be around as long as there are listeners, unlike many of those boutique companies. My guess is it would be a great base for a $75-100K setup.
