Let me begin by saying that I've enjoyed coming to this site and learning about these wonderful speakers! The banter, recommendations and general attitude of you folks is refreshing for an open forum.
While I enjoy reading the "what is the best amp" threads, there seems to be a common thread which leads to the usual suspects. BAT, Cary, CJ, Pass and a few others rise to the top of the list. I'm certain and trust, these recommendations are based on your actual use or ownership that they are fine pieces of equipment.
What I'm trying to grasp and understand is why my gear of choice (McIntosh) is not as highly regarded as the others. I'm secure in what I have bought and am not a follow the herd type person and have a thick skin. Is there some element that I'm missing? I'd like to hear your opinions in the open because I believe I've sensed a veiled dislike of the brand.
I'm not interested in starting a brand bashing thread which I think would be closed quickly. I'm looking for honest, limited "emotional" discussion on what influenced your opinion of McIntosh?
