I wonder how many people have really done direct A/B testing. Link to one below of McIntosh and D’Agostino, interesting outcome.

Thank you for linking that review video. Very interesting comments on the difference between those amps. I like the Audio Excellence guys and their product reviews. 
Cheers.
It's not hate or even just not liking their performance.  
They just don't sound good by today's standards.
I just purchased a new stereo setup today after a lengthy demo:  McIntosh MA8900 integrated amp, Sonus Faber Olympica Nova Vs, and a Roon Nucleus + streamer.  Very stoked on getting this order in and setup in our living room!
@bigtex22 Awesome - enjoy!.  Those speakers are wonderful and I grin every time I turn on my Mc stuff!
