Atlantic Technologies 9,000 system.....YUCH
Wow, guess no one out there owns them, or was too insulted by my slightly abrasive post to comment.I have asked this question on other forums and have had few results. Most folks that own these seem to be loyal to the death.I just could not believ... 
Mcintosh - Love Em' or Hate Em' ......Why?
BUDREW: Have you compared the MC gear with other units?You say that once you have MC, you dont need the "upgrade bug".....as the amp in my system is from 1978, I am fully into the "do it right and do it once" mentality, but I am curious what model...

35Hz - 25kHz -- A Partial 'Purist'?
Just a note here....I found a good balance simply by backing the sub out of the mix a bit.Big, old amp with level controls and a aged Canton sub...when turned down..added a nice foundation to the system, without taking over.The less you push to it...

How long have you had the SAME GEAR?
Glad to hear people talk about the software.I find people with 20-30k in gear and 12 CD's to play on it and have a hard time believing my eyes.Though there is no strict formula, I think that your software investment should at least be equal to you... 
Why Don't More People Love Audio?
