Admired the look of McIntosh from afar for many years. For the life of me I don't know why I haven't owned any until recently. I've been through a ton of gear the last 35 years and finally did a MAC home audition a few months ago. I was able to A/B a C2700 and MC462 with a PS Audio BHK pre and BHK 300 monoblocks. I was so impressed that I ordered the C2700 and MC611's. Beautiful sounding (and looking) gear that I feel I'll be happy with for years to come.
