Why do no audio enthusiasts use McIntosh?


With the exception of some of there tube gear, not many really use this stuff(or admit to it anyway), I am mainly referring to there amps. They look pleasant, they look good on paper and have the price of high end gear, but I seldom hear anyone claiming to like or one day dreaming of owning McIntosh. I have never really listened to there stuff, no good word of mouth sort of scares me away from it, the only people who like it are those who sell it, an uncanny coincidence? I don’t know. Sorry it this has been covered many times in the past, I ran a search and could not find anything.

I have tried many Mcintosh amps in my house & never liked any of them. They were all solid state. The way I feel they sound is very boring, no life, just dull. I had the intrgrated with Output transformers on my CLS & it did not drive them well at all. Now there new CD changer I hade at home & I could hear the disc spining from my listing seat.
The build quality on it was far from a good sony SACD player.
Howard, that's a hilarious story! Who was that guy? :-) And I wonder how the Mcintosh will work in his system. And will his audio friends ostracize him when they learn he is using Mcintosh? I really want to know the answers to these burning questions. Only time will tell...
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btw, your autoformer info is way outdated,mcintosh is not the only manufacturer using autoformer's in fact there are several other's using knock off's of the mac autoformer & recieving the highest of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.
