Dumping McIntosh for Bose
There are the Bentlys in audio and the Hugos. It’s been proven that sometimes one pays a Bently price but gets parts you’d expect to find in a Hugo. Danny Richie made youtube videos where he opened up an expensive speaker and found crossovers poor... 
How Much Do Aesthetics Factor Into Your Decisions?
Many of these questions are already addressed by manufacturers. In Europe and other areas there is a tendency to like aesthetics more and companies often cater to that sense. Europe has many audio engineers and design professionals in audio compan... 
A step to the side- Smart TV question

Magico's M9
I like the guy (uncledemp) who built the M9 11.4 AV system. I think I am going to do that. I am going to use the M9 or 10 Bose 901 speakers with the 55 inch Samsung TV and skip the subs. I will post pictures, stay tuned.

Buying Used Equipment on the Internet
The question you ask is a good one.  You wrote, "I'm new to this hobby and currently still trying out new gear to see what I like". Later you mentioned you are looking at a used audio piece. I assume you mean "new... to you" if you are buying use... 
Why is solid state more popular when tubes are better?
Superman is better than Batman Trucks are better than cars Football is better than baseball These statements sound like what kids would say... Televisions had vacuum tubes in them years ago. Are the televisions today better? Radios had tubes i...
