McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer
Some folks make a living providing honest information, and some make a living by misinformation.. I have a bin called garbage and the latter half goes straight into that. Youtube provides an avenue to get some exposure to products good or bad. But...

@hilde45  Quite disgusting!! surprised anyone follows him..   
McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer
Good Lord!! I started to watch the video, couldn't get past the first two minutes.. What a waste of life and space.. I love my MA352, and it's not because I need to impress my friends..

@jmeyers I am running Magico A3 pair with Kimber Kable 12TC. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have anything negative with the MC462, I had it for less than six months since I bought it. The dealer was kind enough to bring their demo model of the M10X a...

I have the C53 and had the MC462 meaning, swapped out the 462 with a Luxman M10X and waiting on the C900u to replace the C53. I liked the way the Mcintosh sounds but love the way Luxman sounds.. Also have the MA352, that I will not give up.. Love ... 
Mcintosh MC462 versus Luxman M10X
@woots Thanks for the valuable input. You are right, I'll be living with this decision hopefully for a reasonable amount of healthy life time and I'd have to trust my ears. Your input rang in my ears when I was at the dealer :)  
Mcintosh MC462 versus Luxman M10X
@overthemoon Thanks for the kind words!! My first dive into good equipment was Parasound gear.. I had a Nakamichi amp and a Pioneer Elite for the longest time, like 10 years or so, something flipped in me overnight and I wanted to revive my audio ...

Mcintosh MC462 versus Luxman M10X
Got the M10X delivered yesterday.. not the demo, but my new piece that I ordered.. Absolutely in love with it. I let go of the 462..   Unfortunately, I have to now sit and wait for the C900U, earliest is June delivery.. I gave up on pairing the C5...

@eugene81 When you metioned JA perspectives, brought a smile to my face. I had the JA RM22si's for the longest time. Loved them.. I traded them in recently. I had reached out to Jeff and I was supposed to have had a phone call facetime from him to... 
Mcintosh MC462 versus Luxman M10X
@erik_squires it's all good.. I am glad you gave me some hints and all I needed was a little nudge :).. Agree, the liquid middle range is so enveloping. And I think you have taken the words out of my mouth on the brittle and gritty. I use to have ... 
Mcintosh MC462 versus Luxman M10X
@jeffreyw @erik_squires @eugene81 and everyone else on this thread, Thank you guys.. I felt transformed and smitten with the Luxman combo at the dealer: the system as a combo of D03x, C900U, M10X and A3. I brought home the C900U and swapped out th...

@jeffreyw Thanks!! Other systems the dealer carries, Boulder and Audio Research..   
Mcintosh MC462 versus Luxman M10X
Thank you Eugene!! This message hit me at the right time.. I am a bundle of nerves and giddy with excitement.. I have the audition tomorrow at my dealer for the C900U connected to the M10X (The first and only demo unit that they got on Tuesday) ho... 
Mcintosh MC462 versus Luxman M10X
The dealer is expecting one stock unit of the 10x in about two weeks.. The Essence stereo is class A all the way right? what speakers are you driving? I like the Magico A3's a lot. It's been only a few weeks since I got them.. They seem to sound b...
