I've a 47 y/o mc240 live in a share house with 2 others theres always someone dropping around and music is always going flat out.
Most of them have your average $1000/$2500 audio equipment and think they know a good sound.
Until they hear the 47 y/o mcintosh,comments like I can't believe its only a 40 watt amp Its so detailed are common. Sh!t I've lost count of how many people have been blown away by it.
As for reliability its only ever had the caps replaced.
Its very easy on tubes runs cool.
I own a Markhill 6L6 A 2 y/o runs very hot, eats tubes up like there gone out of fashion.(pun intended) .Its a nice sound for what it is but it hasn't got a patch on the mac.
