Thank you. As I stated, I certainly do not hate McIntosh. Why on earth would anyone hate any product unless you bought it and were then extremely disappointed? I assume those that buy it are for the most part not disappointed.
I would ask other posters one question though, why does this company feel the need to sell merchandise? Do you not find this ridiculous and demeaning? Would you believe they even sell McIntosh covid masks?

I do not hate Macintosh. It is your money; if you want to spend your money on Macintosh, go right ahead. Personally I would never buy anything from Macintosh because in my opinion there is far better sounding and better built equipment available for far less money.
However Macintosh does appeal to a certain demographic; my friends and I call it the Harley Davidson of hi fi.
|
What most of you are forgetting is that this site does not have just Americans posting. Macintosh is far less purchased outside of America. It appears that some Americans have a loyalty towards the brand; that’s fine.
As I stated in a previous post in this thread, Macintosh is not for me; it would be pretty close to the bottom in the line of hi fi equipment I would consider.
|
Please do say many things. Is anything I said inaccurate? Is Macintosh as popular in Asia and Europe as the US? Are the only posters who post on this site of US Nationality? Do some Americans have a loyalty towards the Macintosh brand? Are any of my rhetorical questions wrong?
|
"I would venture to guess 80% of the members here are North Americans. "
So what? Are you suggesting that people of other nationalities do not have the right to post here?
|
What a pathetic little reply. It must have taken all your brain cells to come up with that. By they way before you criticise my spelling, look at your punctuation. There should be a semi colon after "laoman".
|
"suggest you try to read more, and post less"
Strong suggestion that you post something of some worth.
|
Really pathetic. Because someone tells the truth about your beloved McIntosh some of you get defensive.
|
jjss49, as English is my second language, I am curious to see how you would spell in Lao. Thai, French and German, in all of which I am completely fluent. Do you even speak another language?
|
jjss49. Ah that explains it. English is your third language
. Else you would comprehend that not one phrase I wrote is insulting to McIntosh. I said I did not like it and would never buy it. How is that insulting? You on the other hand.......
|
Yes, I certainly did and that is correct. How is that an insult? By the way, did you watch Jay’s youtube? - talk about damning with faint praise. He called it "mid range", a comment with which I concur.
|
jjss49, I am doing with responding to your nonsense. Have a nice life.
|
Roxy54 "but I’m getting pretty good at it." Actually you are not, as "done" should be in inverted commas as you are quoting it.
|
@oldhvymec "Mac is a lot of things but BAD or MidFi just isn't one of the things they are." To suggest Mac is not even mid class is a bit unfair. It certainly is at level and not below.
|
Totally agree Vuch and Tsushima.

IF I were in the US I would buy equipment from you, because you tell it like it is and are not full of bs.

Some years ago there ws a childrens’ programme on TV with a ventriloquist’s dummy called Jerry G. This was the Jerry G show. I often wondered what happened to Jerry G. Now I know.
"Jerry G, Jerry G, who and what and where is he"?
|
"If I currently owned Mac, I would certainly buy them." If the clock told the time as well as the amps played musically, you would be constantly late for any appointment.
|
"It’s about bashing people that own McIntosh gear." Well this has to be one of the silliest comments I have come across in any fora. It is about saying that McIntosh gear does not appeal to many people because some of us believe it does not sound that good and is not value for money. End of story.
