McIntosh MA 6500 reliability etc....

Hi Folks,
I am considering a Mcintosh MA 6500 integrated amp. Do any of you have one? How is the reliability and how do you like the sound? How is their gear in general for the long haul? I have a Cambridge Audio 840 A V2, and am considering a move in this direction. Any thoughts would be helpful in aiding my decision. Thanks so much...Brian.

PS: How is the company with backing their products should failure occur? Any dealings that way? I would be buying new from a registered dealer.

I owned a MA6500 for a while. Great amp. Very powerful and dynamic. Sold it and immediately wished I had it back. Had to go to tubes to get the same smooth sound at a fraction of the power. Oh well.

If you buy new, you should have no problem with service. Read the threads: even used, reliability is unquestioned.
