A Sad Day

A day of mourning for me....

I have a love of music and audio equipment and through saving was able to purchase an AMP from one of my favorite companies - McIntosh. Amazing quality and made in New York - Hard to Beat. I have enjoyed countless hours of listening pleasure -- sadly with my big move to fellowship and my even bigger move to my waiting job I am forced to part ways with my MA6600. If you ever have the chance I highly recommend you check some of their equipment out for your own home. You will not regret it. Any other audio junkies out there?

Hard to beat Mcintosh equipment. League of their own. I don't know why you would leave it behind... unless it's outdated. I don't buy AVRs for the big room any more.
Seperates are the way to go! 🙄

Marantz is my go to over the years. I have a ridiculous amount of thx speakers firing in the downstairs theatre. 'bout 40 something speakers 7.2 channel amp with 200w per channel + 2 15" subs getting fed with 500W per sub.- A bit ridiculous, but I have been an electonic junky for a while. One thing I've learned is that AVR/recievers are like computers... something "better' comes out every 6 months... Had a top of the line Marantz AVR 8 or so years ago... and then they came out with HDMI's... Grrrrr.....

Get components... i.e. seperate amps to power your speakers and a pre-amp for the tech stuff. You get a quality amp and you will never get rid of it. If something new comes out HDMI+whatever, you only have to change the pre-amp/motherboard or upgrade it. AVR systems don't have that luxury.

There are a lot of quality components out there. I've always thought of Marantz as your best bang for the buck.... always packed with goodies and beautiful to look at. You can go insane with this stuff.

I am moving to Alaska and shipping it to Alaska is ridiculous and plus I would be worried about it breaking in transit. It is still a current model so far from outdated. If I could afford the components I really want believe me I would. Im not rich and famous like yourself yet...still working on it. If you are into components for your home theater and really want a great bang for the buck try www.emotiva.com - Amazing bang for the buck. I mean get a 400W x 5channel amp for 2300$. Stuff sounds amazing. My current setup is for two channel listening only. I live in an apartment so destroying my neighbors with surround sound - although hilarious - may not go over too well.

I'd be happy to take it off your hands. I currently have a listening room with a dmc/dac and rotel amp and b&w cm5s and in the theater a 7.1 system, biamped, running a denon 5805.

I picked up an NAD 356-DAC integrated amp 2 months ago and I love it. The onboard modular DAC is surprisingly good. I Would love to have a McIntosh one day!
