Having owned many pieces of McIntosh equipment, including a pair of the very first 1201 amps to roll out of Binghamton, it’s a certain sound.  It’s warm and laidback to me. Here’s the deal, it’s beautiful to look at and it sounds lush and warm, the equipment wasn’t made for just plain old you.  What sounds good to you might not sound good to someone else.  I prefer fast, forward, and bright equipment, that’s because my hearing is just that, mine   McIntosh didn’t design their equipment around me.
