McIntosh C2300

Hi,

I am looking to buy a C2300 and have 2 questions:

1) I am not thrilled about my local dealer and am looking to buy it from a dealer that I have done business with in the past and was my local dealer when I lived in PA. The owner's manual states that over the phone sales or product purchased and NOT installed by an authorized dealer void the warranty. Is this reality or hype? My dealer in PA is a reputable authorized dealer.

2) the owner's manual page 13 states that using the passthru for HT passes the signal from a MCIntosh AV control center or surround decoder. Is there something propreitary to be concerned about? I have a Conrad Johnson PV-15 connected to an Integra DTC-9.8 via pass thru. looking to repleace the CJPV15 with the C2300.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Lou

I know people who buy from dealers out of state, although they drive to pick up the components in person.... I don't know if that makes a difference or not.

I agree with the above post. You have to Contact McIntosh and ask them about their authorized McIntosh Dealer polices. McIntosh will ONLY support product sales if you buy from an Authorized McIntosh Dealer. Their web site includes a dealer locator to find the Authorized McIntosh Dealer near you. McIntosh product warranty and customer service is excellent but you have to buy McIntosh products from an authorized McIntosh dealer. Please call McIntosh and explain your situation before you buy anything. This will save you from having servicing problems in the future.

Lou, before you make any purchases of Mcintosh equipment you need to read this post from a few months ago. Type in mcintosh warranty in the search field and you will see it.
