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

I find it interesting how audiophiles criticise klipsch for being "too bright" but don't like mcintosh for being too warm and prefer their amps to bright?? Very confusing!

Mac amps tend to have low damping so speakers that need alot of damping might not sound good. All about component matching. My mc462 sounds fantastic on my tektons... let the haters begin. LOL.

As others have said it is personal taste and I love the sound of mine. But my mac is far more likely to still be working in 30 years.

I can say I did not buy my Mac because of looks. If looks were important to me I would not have bought tekton speakers... it IS about the sound.

I also like the rack. I have the 462. Any heat issues with the limited ventilation on top???
