For me, McIntosh is a benchmark company... why?
-High Quality, USA made (could be any other first world country for me, just not China, Vietnam, etc).
-Great sound
-Built to last, and proven to do so
-Super sexy looks, very understated, yet not all at the same time
-Price is very reasonable for the market segment it serves
Again I own good stuff, such as a dCS Rossini with clock, and I've owned high end Sony before, Nakamichi and other stuff... but for me McIntosh is a reference system, and while I don't like everything they make, certainly in the amplification department they're in the top of the top for me.
