I'm $3,071 poorer as of this morning. Picked up a McIntosh MA6900 amp on eBay. They retail for close to $7K. And now I need to decide what speakers I want. It's a good thing I am only building a 2 channel stereo sytstem as this can get pricey really quick.

Nice! Maybe put something by Denon or Onkyo in front of it so it looks cool.

Fuck no! I love the way the McIntosh looks. And this is a 200 watt per channel high current amp. I am leaning towards some Martin Logans as I love the ESL sound.

McIntosh fanboys are the worst! I'm going to buy a few so I can smash it.

I know what the hell McIntosh products look like, I used to be an audiophile geek way back. They are old school looking, and don't IMO reflect the quality and purity that their sound is known for. Looks like a pile. Those stats aren't that impressive, but how those watts are delivered are. The sound from their products is awesome.

Then I would have to send it back to McIntosh for repair and would not be able to support my dealer.
