    Oh and McIntosh... typical "status symbol, pride of ownership, made in the USA" brand. Not saying it's bad stuff, but when someone has a lot of money and wants a crazy "sound system" to impress guests, that's one of the recurrent brands. Very expensive and very easy to recognize even by non-audiophile people. Just like Rolex is the go-to luxury watch brand for status symbol.

    Sure, keep believing that.  Do I have a lot of money?  No.  Do I want to impress people with my gear?  No.  Do I use it as a "status symbol"?  No.

    Only through buying, selling, trading, bartering, etc, etc, etc through many, many years have I been able to acquire amps and preamps that compliment my listening environment and the music I enjoy.

     

    So please, continue to mock the Mcintosh brand, and those that appreciate it, while I will continue to listen and laugh.

    Disappointing response here, KlipscHites 🙄

    C'mon Help people out

    It's hard to justify spending $$$ on speakers you have only heard on the internetz

    What do you expect? You’ve only have this posted for two days, not to mention that there may not be many folks close to you that even have any of these units.  I would recommend that you join any number of Klipsch Facebook groups where you will get a lot more exposure.

    Why does this bother you so much? Are those of us with limited resources unworthy to enjoy this hobby?

     

    I'm sorry for being snarky, but I really don't understand why you feel the need to make this comment whenever people mention costs vs. benefits.

    Don’t be sorry, it’s the same old bullshit.
