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.

" lifeless sounds" @lalitk is very accurate description.

Their sound is flat and slow, it becomes the style, at least as far as I know some people love it. It make people related and release during the listening, who doesn't care the the music itself but will get relax from the listening.

Old guy in China and Japan are the main customers.

 

@roxy54 what are you talking about? Famous brand doesn't meaning good for everyone!  McIntosh 's sound has their feature and people in hifi field just don't like it. I tell the true fact! What the problem with you? You are stay away if you comment that way.

@jeffreyw to be clear, I am talking McIntosh 's sound is good or bad. Any brand has its feature. I bought new McIntosh pre and power many years ago and use it for many years, and then sell it out and move to audio research. McIntosh is not hifi sound, the sound is flat, slow and a little more on bass, still slow.  You are use it for many years you know what I am talking about. I might buy it back in the future as it is really feeling relax when listening. We are talking the sound and each of us just discuss the sound and nothing personal. I will like the one to touch personal matter to stay away.

@jeffreyw my model is 352,and pre is 2100 if I remembered right., both tubed. I also listened 611 which is newer model.  I don't think McIntosh changed their house sound. The sound changed very small. I know someone love that sound. Enjoy the listening. 

Happy New Year and enjoy the listening! Who care other people's comment?  You just enjoy yourself.

McIntosh really bring us the joy! I do agree.

By the way, MA352 is solid state amp. I remembered  wrong as I am on skiing this morning.
