Thanks Ian, very interesting !

My hi-fi purchases follow this path :
1) Press / friend recommendations
2) Listening : my ears are the boss !
3) Confidence when buying : if sound engineers, musicians etc... use the same stuff, so my ears shall not be wrong. That's quite the same with McIntosh : we can't count the musicians / sound or tech engineers owning Mc stuff....

Thanks again,
Jérôme
