RE: Does anyone understand McIntosh? When I was in college ...

I bought a used Mac MA5100 integrated in 1977. It was to replace my early 70's Pioneer system. I really didn't know much about audiophile but I always loved my stereo and music.
One of the "selling" moments of the Mac was the "Amplifier Test Clinic". I still have the graph, seems to measure harmonic distortion.
It was new to me and was fantastic.
After a few years I went to NAD and the Mac went into the closet. But it was always one you brought out as a spare.
I moved into a condo for work and took the Mac and bought a pair of B&W602's. They sounded perfect. Tried NAD, too bright. Mac just right.
