McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer
Bigtex..I have an early 70s orange hand EcplororII along with a 1961 explorer 1 1016 and several other Rolex sports watches..I can come up with 6 or 8 watch brands better just off the top of my head so I would not get so cocky with your bolstering.  
McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer
True McIntosh has more than a cult following .True the resale value is fantastic.True the build quality is pretty much there.I doubt for a lot there's no arguing that......but as far as being in the top tier of stereo makers worldwide they are not...

Tube Integrated vs Tube Seperates
Imo..the mindset integradeds take to a back seat to separates is silly at best these days ..there are some super integraded amps out there that can stand side by side or even surpass separates...add that to other benefits they bring to the table  ... 
JBL L112
I bought a pair at auction that were immaculate and a great price about a year ago ...they sounded ok but not even close to modern speakers. Good for Rock and roll but that's about it...Off they went.

Another Hegel H390 vs H590 Thread
I understand totally. I ran with tubes for the longest time, mainly Jadis then several other including Prima Luna for a couple years. I prefer the faster attack ,better bass control,wider sound stage I get with solid state...i was curious, thanks  
Another Hegel H390 vs H590 Thread
I'm just curious and a tad off your topic but why did you decide to move away from tubes..I did a few years ago and as it's said never looked back.  
Cardas Clear Beyond XL PC
I think Jays audio lab (who is normally spot on)did a shoot out with several PC and the cardas clear beyond was shot out of the water...might be wrong but maybe you should seek out  that video.  
Underpowered?
Although people swear by McIntosh and the  b&w pairing I think McIntosh is the wrong amp for those speakers...Having owned the 402 and 452,I'm not a fan of your amp or speakers to be honest..If keeping the speakers I'd find an amp with speed a... 
Try a sub a third in the back
Why so funny?...a stack is exactly what rel told me to do...doesn't matter where it is located...I asked them about 3 subs one in the back which is totally different   
Try a sub a third in the back
