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 so-called audio enthusiasts or audiophiles are those engineer want-to-be. They listen to systems that they piece together and not the music. Mcintosh sold a lot more high end equipment than any other manufacturer in the world for 60 years (Please correct me if I am wrong).
You also stated " the only people who like it, are those who sell it... an uncanny coincidence?"
People who love the sound of Mc, don't have to brag about their McIntosh system or the sound of their Ferrari. They know what they want to hear and just enjoying it.
