I live in the USA, purchased from the local McIntosh dealer, took it to McIntosh labs personally to be brought to specs, got BS and the runaround, got it back after 5 months, worked for two months, shipped it back and just got it returned last Saturday after much more BS and it doesn't work. Ordered a new Yamaha receiver which should be here Thursday and we'll see what the problem(besides McIntosh) really is. Fine sounds has bought itself some problems. Just one man's opinion.................
