McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer

And I’m thankful 

@hilde45 I may be guilty of drinking will perusing this forum🤓

@schw06 I think your post is spot on.  I also think 'awesome' is subjective and changes over time.

I've had McIntosh gear and while I have moved on to other brands it was because i was looking for something I found during auditioning for an upgrade. 

My McIntosh stuff sounded great, brought me hours (perhaps months, or years) of listening pleasure.  I get the same joy with my new gear and also visiting a friend who has a nice system.

I salute everyone who enjoys music and think there are many great manufacturers and DIY kits for every type of music fan, listener and audiophile.
