I recently purchased a Mac MA 352 hybrid integrated amp. While I don't agree with the naysayers who claim that McIntosh's biggest selling point is the pretty blue meters (they are pretty) but the performance is only "very respectable" but not top level. My problem, and that of my local dealer, is not only the backlog but the quality of the delivery. Unless the dealer orders a number at once, where they are placed on a pallet and remain so when unloaded, smaller orders are shipped without due care by the truckers and are damaged on delivery. Mine arrived damaged off the truck, despite the robust packaging, but the dealer let me take it home until a new replacement one arrived, months later
McIntosh Labs delivery issues
Can anyone provide an update on what to expect when placing an order for Mac's MC611 mono-block amps? I read last year on this forum they were backordered and running 6 months to a year for expected delivery.
