Have you seen the new McIntosh poster for $195?

I have that Maxwell poster, sitting in a drawer however. 
 

I have not seen the McIntosh poster. 

bemused that mcintosh has such a fervent following when there are so many other great hi-end vendors out there. 

So, serious question, what is the allure of McIntosh equipment where it becomes the end goal for so many?

my system components currently ….  Vpi, klyne, pass, quad, rel, (cables) furutech, cardas and dozens of other components and cables in the past. Have heard couple of mcintosh amps many years ago but in comparison to others the McIntosh boxes never stayed.

You need to distinguish between the McIntosh tube amplifiers and solid-state amplifiers. The tube amplifiers are where they shine. The reliability plus the performance is what makes mcintosh tube amplifiers very desirable. Solid-state amplifiers are comparable to most other solid-state amplifiers as most solid-state amplifiers are pretty reliable.

Plus the resale factor is a huge component of all this. Other amplifiers tend to be way overpriced as demonstrated in the used market where after two or three years you were lucky to get 40% of what you paid. And very difficult to get rid of most other brands.

I’d love to own a vintage McIntosh neon sign. I’ve seen newer signs available however they’re made using LED lights and what appears to be acrylic glass.
