Why No McIntosh Recommendations?


As I read, and continually read through posts, nobody really talks to McIntosh Products, or recommends McIntosh Products.  Why?  I can understand why they are not getting their just due.  I think their sound stage is incredible and the tube products offer incredible warmth.  I own the 2600 PreAmp, 2152 Amp, and MT5 Turntable.  I love what they do for my Sonos Faber Serafino’s.  I’m a big fan.  Why don’t y’all talk to them more.  Now I know we all have our bias.  And I know that they may be out of many price ranges, but they are wonderful products, in my ears.  

BTW - Currently Listening to Hugh Maskela’s Hope on a Quality Pressings Release!  Sounds superb!  Excellent recording whether you are listening to a CD or a high quality a 180 Release from the original master tapes.

" lifeless sounds" @lalitk is very accurate description.

Their sound is flat and slow, it becomes the style, at least as far as I know some people love it. It make people related and release during the listening, who doesn't care the the music itself but will get relax from the listening.

Old guy in China and Japan are the main customers.

Ignorant comments. I wonder if you have ever even heard Mac gear. They didn't become famous for selling bad sounding gear. By the way, what are you famous for? It couldn't be sentence structure.

@roxy54 what are you talking about? Famous brand doesn't meaning good for everyone!  McIntosh 's sound has their feature and people in hifi field just don't like it. I tell the true fact! What the problem with you? You are stay away if you comment that way.

Not sure if you have heard new McIntosh components. You may be echoing the old McIntosh sound. I have a pair of MC611s and a C2700. It is one of the most musical combinations I have heard in many years. I would compare the mid-bass/bass response to anything out there. Yes, it's not the most revealing on the top end, but the music just sounds real!

He obviously has no idea of what he’s talking about, as you say, just echoing old, tired opinions, and then he says it’s fact and gets offended!
