Why No McIntosh Recommendations?

As I read, and continually read through posts, nobody really talks to McIntosh Products, or recommends McIntosh Products.  Why?  I can understand why they are not getting their just due.  I think their sound stage is incredible and the tube products offer incredible warmth.  I own the 2600 PreAmp, 2152 Amp, and MT5 Turntable.  I love what they do for my Sonos Faber Serafino’s.  I’m a big fan.  Why don’t y’all talk to them more.  Now I know we all have our bias.  And I know that they may be out of many price ranges, but they are wonderful products, in my ears.  

BTW - Currently Listening to Hugh Maskela’s Hope on a Quality Pressings Release!  Sounds superb!  Excellent recording whether you are listening to a CD or a high quality a 180 Release from the original master tapes.

I have been steadily improving my audio system for now more than 50 years. Among power amplifiers, I have owned Mark Levinson and Krell (both Class A). Now I own McIntosh 611 mono power amplifiers. In my system, the resultant sonic reproduction is simply better than with my predecessor amps.

I am repeatedly amused by these claims regarding how a particular component sounds. The only valid observation is how the system — residing in the room — sounds. All I can say is that what I am able to hear through my system in my room is mind-boggling fantastic (and my audiophile friends concur), and part of the reason is my McIntosh power amplifiers.
