RE: The old McIntosh XR series

Thanks for that insight. As you know, Mac made their name in high quality (and pricey!) amps. But I've yet to hear great things about their speakers. That XR-7 and on the down the line covey quality construction. The sound, I guess, was something else, and if they couldn't stand up to mass produced brands like Pioneer, they must have sounded awful. AR I've never heard, but I have to disagree with your assessment of JBL. Some of those models from the 70s sounded pretty good, the bookshelf L-166 and the floor-standing with sub-woofer L-212 being examples. Well, when it comes to loudspeakers, it's all subjective anyway, right?
