Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh?

With the exception of some of there tube gear, not many really use this stuff(or admit to it anyway), I am mainly referring to there amps. They look pleasant, they look good on paper and have the price of high end gear, but I seldom hear anyone claiming to like or one day dreaming of owning McIntosh. I have never really listened to there stuff, no good word of mouth sort of scares me away from it, the only people who like it are those who sell it, an uncanny coincidence? I don’t know. Sorry it this has been covered many times in the past, I ran a search and could not find anything.

The B&W Diamond is known to be revealing, so that may be why someone might recommend using the softer Mac with the B&W.  I always enjoyed the Mac gear, but only had the mc275 for a while, and although I liked it I found something I enjoyed a little more in that set up.

BTW, there is a fair amount of Ohm Walsh fans here. Look up their thread and I bet they would love to talk Ohm Walsh, and may be able to help with an amp.

PS.  I better stick with my sweet spot speakers as nobody needs to see me dance. :}
