| Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear My 400xi/sacd standard into my res 2 speakers is far more natural and musical than anything I've owned (read review for details on why). As for Mcintosh, why are some people obsessed with antique cars, LP's or TV news...some people just can't let ... | |
| Review: Krell KAV 400xi Amplifier After full break-in and the newness factor wearing thin...plus familiar material being played more often, it became clear that what I was hearing was not musical...just hyper detailed and dynamic! | |
| Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear Audia, points well taken...but test data as an ultimate indication of musicality? Plenty of gear measures well and still manages to fall short of accurate fidelity. Stepping back for a minute, I believe I mentioned that I thought well of the Mac s... | |
| Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear I take it all back..Mac is absolutely the finest gear available! Happy? | |
| Which Intergrated amp for starter?? Read my krell 400xi review if you can..maybe it would be a fit for you..it is for me and my tastes are comparable! | |
| Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear Lest some of you gentlemen forget, I owned the MC501's and C46 preamp and a C2200 tube pre which was returned quickly! Both my Totem Winds and Dynaudio C4's bled the amps dry..meters were full tilt without pushing the amps very hard. Autoformers..... | |
| Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear I wouldn't call your foray into solid state amps comprehensive in any sense. Also, the Mac testimonial seems dealeresque Dbarger. But, whatever floats your boat..enjoy! | |
| Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear Clash..Mcintosh...Truth Path to Paradise? You guys are smokin somethin aren't you..come on, admit it!! | |
| Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear My journey in the listening chair has been ear opening to say the least. One thing stands out however from the sea of gear...class A designs sound more natural and have greater presence i.e...older Krell, KAV Krell and Evolution Krell (not evo). T... | |
| Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear I agree reviewers are mostly entertainers..merely mentioned a couple of the senior more honest ones as an aside, not to be taken as an indication of my audio religion. Synergy of components and an ear for live music to guide oneself is important..... | |
| Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear I have owned alot and I calls 'em as I sees 'em! In retrospect, Mac was at least warm and friendly sounding. When I spout off it's from passion, experience and an absolute perspective..don't take it to heart. Even though my Krell Evo and ARC Refer... | |
| Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear Why don't e\we all take our toys and go home and listen to music!! BOL on whatever it is that floats your musical boat. | |
| Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear Cool, I sold my Ref 3 already. I had the 501's and c1000 with an MF A5 front end into C4's from Dynaudio. I've owned alot of stuff and I stand by my comments that Mac is OK but not special in any way. | |
| Do true audiophiles own Mcintosh gear Nothing innovative about Mac gear, nor is it tremendously musical. In fact it sounds like very goo old class B electronics..not particularly exceptional in any area, nor a total disaster in any either..just OK! | |
| Review: Audio Research Corporation HD 220 Amplifier I am as well, it seems that the more the 220 broke in the harder sounding it became..I can only respond from experience over time. At first the definition and sheer grunt factor floored me. Their is palpability and roundness and great soundstaging... |
