Mcintosh sound


Been looking at Macintosh intergrated amps (MC6300, MC6500) but haven't been able to audition due to lack of supply locally so I need help. How would you characterize the Mac sound? Is it netural? robust with a bottom strength (like Krell or Sim), how's the the mid range; forward, mid theatre or more distant? Top end is it smooth and sparkling?
Over all how does it throw the sound stage? These are important questions that I could use help with, as I listen to soft rock, jazz blues & new age. Please see my system for current rig. Thanks for the help

Bongofury rightly mentions that Macs newer stuff is much more neutral than past gear. I would classify it as neutral with a natural warmth and slightly rolled off at the extreemes. I don't think you will get "Krell-like" bass slam, but you "should" get a very enjoyable and musical presentation.
