McIntosh Labs delivery issues

I put together a similar system, but ended up bumping up from the MC611s to a pair of Mc3500s Mk2s.  For a streamer, I got the Esoteric N-01XD. Clarus Crimson cables to connect. 

"lewi28" your new system must sound outstanding. "Goofyfoot" I will let you know how it turns out. I appreciate everyones help.

I don't understand how a retailor can say "in store only" when they are 

listed on the manufacturers website as an "authorized online retailor" ?

I have called several stores listed as such and they act like they don't know !

I agree "saki70" very confusing. You would think during these difficult times obtaining their product they would relax that requirement.

I just checked with McIntosh, the MC611 expected delivery on new orders is 3 to 4 months and the C2700 tube preamp is 5 to 7 mos.
