Re: Mcintosh lawyer harassing me - What should I do?

What people have not been inquiring about is the actual content of the warranty. If the actual written warranty did not contain a statement that the warranty applied to the original purchaser only, then it is in fact transferable, as long as the person requesting service has a receipt from an authorized dealer, and proof of ownership. The warranty would then be based on time after the original sale regardless of who owned the unit. It's entirely possible that the McIntosh lawyer is adding terms to the warranty that were not already there, and are not representative of the actual warranty in effect. The statement on the McIntosh web site is totally meaningless and non-enforceable. The warranty in effect is the written one that was enclosed with the purchased unit. That cannot be altered after the fact.

Manufacturers have a tendency to add unspoken clauses to warranties that are not enforceable, and are sometimes illegal. The warranty is the written one that came with the amp. Also note that there are occasional illegal clauses in written warranties ("This warranty void if cover is opened" is a nasty one. It is illegal to void a warranty in the US, incidentally).

We do not have enough information on this one.
