Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh?

SIT, i would be interested in knowing what peice of gear that mac wouldnt service for you,ive had terrible luck with them trying to get them to recone speaker's for me now that they changed over to all 4 ohm stuff(junk in my oponion) & ive had to find my own source for new voice coil's too but other than that they have alway's sent me to somebody close by.

let us know what they wouldnt service so we can stay away from it.

to answer tireguy's original question there is a stigma placed on mcintosh gear & it's buyer's are AUTOMATICLY dismissed as being too stupid or lazy to try gear that better suit's them or the classic accusation of being hypnotized by the big blue meter's into buying a pile of overpriced junk based on fancy look's or name recognizition.

marketing hype of other gear also plays a big factor with mac owner's not stepping up & giving review's,with the allmighty pure signal path being the king of today's hifi that it is mac owners get blasted over autoformer's & tone control's in their amp's & preamps,not many are willing to put their self into the hot seat that will surely follow.

it's become common place if not sheik for audiophile's to jump on the bash mcintosh band wagon even though most have never owned any mac gear.

Proziob,once again you pop into another mac thread & set off with yet another diahrea of the mouth anti autoformer speel without ever qualifing your statement's,did your dad accidently drop a mac amp on your foot when you were little or what?

i can respect krellm7's comment's as he qualified his dislike of mac gear but you never say anything about all the mac gear you have had in your home that you hated so much,please enlighten us as to what model's you have owned that made you dislike autoformer's.

btw, your autoformer info is way outdated,mcintosh is not the only manufacturer using autoformer's in fact there are several other's using knock off's of the mac autoformer & recieving the highest of praises too,google is a wonderfull investigative tool & you should try it out.

hello sit,i dont know what mac's deal is with the mc2300 but i also had problem's with their service dept a few year's ago over that model amp & all i wanted was a replacement meter,i went thru hell with them trying to get a new meter or the old one repaired.

the speaker rebuilder i use is fantastic & has completely rebuilt several older model speaker's for me,jbl l250 ti,mcintosh xl1,mcintosh xl1w,atlec 14's,klipschorn's & heresy's & i think several other's too.

the company's name is MICHIGAN SOUND REINFORCEMENT & their telephone number's are 1-810-238-2772 & 1-810-238-4893, they open at noon i think.

i remember that the type of dual voice coil used in the older model's is tough to find & with the xl1's i had them rebuild they had one hell of a time locating the vioce coil's for the mid's but they did end up finding them & rebuilding the mid's for me.

hopefully they can hook you up.
