Have you seen the new McIntosh poster for $195?
I guess if I was in college I might like this. It's really not so bad. If they sell them all it'll be $50,000 for this Company . But then you gotta spend a couple hundred dollars to frame it. But it's only $195 and it's limited to 250 copies maybe I can make a lot of money in the aftermarket I hope they haven't sold them all out at this point maybe they'll do other types of posters. I bet if they charged more for it there would be more interest. It's just a quirky way things work. Maybe all the dealers will buy the posters.
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. |
@emergingsoul I'll let you pick from one of two answers depending on your intent: or 2) That table has been in the family since I was very young and it does get many compliments. |
My guess is you're not posting this from A Federal prison so I would pick the second one. I hope you have good estate planning because your family will have a tough time deciding who gets it. Probably a lot tougher to deal with than all your audio stuff regardless how wonderful it might be at that point. The thickness of that table is quite remarkable. I have a 160 your old oak tree in my backyard that should provide some lovely tables but maybe not in my lifetime. |
