| Have you moved away from full range to standmount speakers + subs? As stated by many, the room is the key. For mine, Magico A5's and a B&W DB3D placed behind the rack with each driver pointed at the side walls provide the best sound. Power is tube pre and amp. Sourced with VPI Aries and the experience continu... | |
| Why the hate for mcintosh amps? Now, I have no problem with this if that is important to you, which is why I asked if you are an interior designer. I would expect them to care very much about the looks, perhaps even beyond the SQ a piece of equipment delivers. I am sure that tho... | |
| Why the hate for mcintosh amps? My Mac gear is 15 years old and the one failure is the power light on the C2300. Built to Last. | |
| Why the hate for mcintosh amps? 100% agree with the theme of enjoying what you have. It is hard to stay in the present long enough to appreciate the moment and audiophiles (myself included) seem to often have our feelers out for the next upgrade.Love my Mac tube gear, sourced wi... | |

| replace Mcintosh with Luxman Thanks Decathlon - agreement is hard to find on this site! | |

| replace Mcintosh with Luxman Same reason Harley Davidson Motorcycles depreciate the least but are hardly the best.There are literally millions of harley owners that would have a field day with that comment. | |
| replace Mcintosh with Luxman So here is a question for all of you Mac haters. Why do McIntosh components hold or increase in value over time?https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/brands-that-have-the-least-depreciation | |
| replace Mcintosh with Luxman I went from Mac solid state (MA6900) to tube (C2300/MC275) and have been more than pleased ever since. For me it was more about finding the right complement of tubes between the two components.Have never owned Luxman or Pass but understand they ar... | |

| What speaker do you passionately want to demo? Way too technical @fleschler - music is about what appeals to you emotionally, not how it specs out on a debatable set of electronics. | |
| I'm looking for a pair of interconnects that won't shatter the bank.... BLUEJEANS CABLES. |
