McIntosh - is it that great?


I'm just curious if McIntosh gear is all that great. How does their older power amps compare to new products from other high end manufactures? Are there any products I should stay away from. I like the idea of owning vintage McIntosh stuff. Most of their stuff seems pricy. Is it because it's that good or do people just like to collect their products. thanks for you opinions--Matt

No other company has been as consistent as Mac, and is still around doing the same thing after being in the business for over 50 years.

No other company's products have better resale value.

Mac has a real engineering team with over 30 people, unlike some garage operation of other so called high end companies.

No other company has a bigger crowd of loyal repeat customers.

No other company has got the same open door policy and allows you to do factory tours like this: http://www.stereopal.com/McIntosh%20Intro.htm

And yes, I have a pair of MC275 IV and they sound awesome.

I believe Mac's reputation speaks for itself.
