Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions
@yogiboy   It has nothing to do with your subconscious racism against the Chinese. I actually purchased a Sonus Faber, Mcintosh system in place of the Harbeth. If you can’t make real arguments against why the Harbeth is overpriced, lacks innova... 
dCS Bartok Apex vs McIntosh DA2 - Trouble Hearing the Difference
I have several amps that I play around with. I found that the Mcintosh MA352 is very particular to the source, or the streamer and DAC. For instance, running the wiim pro I almost gave up on the Mcintosh and it sounded as poorly as you described. ... 
Considering McIntosh MA352
Yes, this David guy is an insufferable troll. He spams the whole internet talking about how he loved the ma352 and it destroyed his Accuphase, to turning bipolar and defaming the product every chance he gets. His dealer or Mcintosh must have got t... 
Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions
I was in the market for a m30 or m40 type speaker, I did settle on SF Olympica instead, and that's when I started analyzing the different value propositions and business models, and started to wonder why the m40s cost so much considering the model... 
Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions

Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions

If you want to be even more surprised, order a Bluesound Node as your streamer. I was running a Wiim Pro into a MA352 and I found the Node was a lot more musical than the Wiim into the Mcintosh. On my Asian Class AB amp, the difference wasn't as d... 
Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions
Try the Galion speakers. They have better sound and QC than Harbeth and only 33 percent the price , you can save the funds and put into a better amp or dac. The truth is all Ls3/5 models are inexpensive to produce with minimal woodworking and comp... 
McIntosh Tube Amp will not come on.
Same. Mcintosh picked up every call unlike nearly almost every other manufacturer I called.
