In Reply to: McIntosh caters to the 'carriage trade' ... built very well, looks good, competent design ... posted by Cleantimestream on May 21, 2016 at 07:11:15:

Even though I made the same comments about build quality and I am an attorney, I hope Mc isn't relying on this to be true. I can assure you that I have yet to run into an attorney under 40 in Chicago who has any idea what McIntosh is. Not that they don't exist, it just doesn't seem to be a robust market.
