Does this image give you claustrophobia?

What a great set up.... in about a fourth of the space it should have. I literally get anxious looking at it. 

You?

Julie Mullens of TAS heard the new McIntosh speakers with even more minds and tweets driven by McIntosh equipment and was gushing over them. Go figure.
Ask yourself, do they advertise in Tas?
They’ve had many reviews done in the last couple of years?

From one listener, to the Mac wall.  "They always had great looking and well built stuff. Unfortunately, it sounded like, well, let's just say less than good."

And always getting Golden Ear awards, just a couple here.

I heard a pair at Audio Classics back in early June when I had to switch my preamp.  I thought they sounded quite nice,  However, nowhere as good as my GE Triton References.  I think they were upwards of 50K for a pair whereas my T Refs were 8500 a pair.  McIntosh should concentrate on electronics.  They already have Sonus Favor under their umbrella.
