Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh?

The fastest car in America? Who knows? The fastest car produced by an American automaker? The Ford GT!

How does this relate audio? I don't have the slightest idea.

Anyway, Merry Christmas and Happy Listening to one and all.

Proziob,once again you pop into another mac thread & set off with yet another diahrea of the mouth anti autoformer speel without ever qualifing your statement's,did your dad accidently drop a mac amp on your foot when you were little or what?

i can respect krellm7's comment's as he qualified his dislike of mac gear but you never say anything about all the mac gear you have had in your home that you hated so much,please enlighten us as to what model's you have owned that made you dislike autoformer's.

btw, your autoformer info is way outdated,mcintosh is not the only manufacturer using autoformer's in fact there are several other's using knock off's of the mac autoformer & recieving the highest of praises too,google is a wonderfull investigative tool & you should try it out.

I still am a Mac fan, sort of. Then again, maybe not. It does not seem to be the same company it once was. I tried repeatedly (REPEATEDLY)to get help with repair of some very high end classic Mac gear that I have owned since new. All to no avail. I had to even struggle to get any response at all. No one cared at Mac. I know all these companies want to sell new gear but Mac positions themselves as providing support on into infinity, basically. And yes, I did contact others who specialize in Mac repairs and replacement parts. I finally gave up and sold most of the gear as is on EBay. I may expect this from some companies that have clearly changed their marketing and management styles. But McIntosh still boasts of how they stand behind their gear. I have not found that they do, so it would be truthful (I believe) if they would stop communicating that they do. I do not believe they are any longer the "Lexus" they advertise themselves to be. Of course, I know there are many others who will disagree but this has been my frustrating experience. Too bad I guess. Good bye Mac.

SIT, i would be interested in knowing what peice of gear that mac wouldnt service for you,ive had terrible luck with them trying to get them to recone speaker's for me now that they changed over to all 4 ohm stuff(junk in my oponion) & ive had to find my own source for new voice coil's too but other than that they have alway's sent me to somebody close by.

let us know what they wouldnt service so we can stay away from it.

mike.

name another company that retains the same degree of resale value. That says somthing. And I do not own Macs.
