Do McIntosh dealers give discount on new models?

Mcintosh amps have gone up 15% in Canada starting this month. The price of a mc462 is now $14k, up from 12k. 

All McIntosh products went up on 12/01/18.  5% I think was the increase thanks to new tariffs on key ingredients.  

I would walk in with cash and play let’s make a deal...    Pretty sure cash is king applies to the whole globe.      And shoot for 15 to 20 percent off.    

I’ve received 20% off on all my Mac gear without even having to try hard. With Mac gear holding its value very well and so many paying full retail, the loss is minimal if you want to sell. 

I heard your desired combo and then heard the speakers with a up the line Rotel. I liked the Rotel synergy more but it was under store acoustic conditions. I was surprised that I didn’t think the Big Mac mono blocks were worth the extra money. 

I’m not telling you that the combo won’t be perfect for you in your room. What I am saying is echoing the above advice to be careful and not buy on subjective forum recommendations alone. 

I think when when you get into the level of speakers you’re looking at, I would view the pairing decision slowly and carefully.
