In Reply to: Why does the Magnolia Room at Best Buy sound so bad? posted by LA mitchell on November 9, 2014 at 08:41:57:
I once auditioned a very nice looking and expensive MA2275 75wpc McIntosh tube Integrated amp on B&W speakers at a store. It was tonally warm but sounded veiled and compressed to me so I had the sales guy swap out the McIntosh and replace it with an inexpensive Musical Fidelity integrated he had in another room.
Presto! Problem solved. The relatively cheap 'mid-fi' Musical Fidelity opened up the music with clarity and dynamics that the pretty McIntosh couldn't match. Problem solved.
See the link below that I stumbled upon. The guy buys a McIntosh MA2275 tube integrated and is disappointed that he sold his 'cheap' AES/Cary SixPacs. Scroll down to the heading in the article titled: "The MA2275 Arrives and all is NOT good!"
