RE: Yes, I have seen Luxman amps...

Hi,

You obviously have a grudge with McIntosh. In terms of boutique-type high-end audio, they're not a poor value. Look at those massive monoblocks they make in the US, check out the price, then compared them to similar elsewhere. They're actually pretty reasonable -- even though they're expensive.

And, sorry, a lot of people liked the Ghost Meters -- so why not offer something unique? I have no problem with that. They got a lot of press.

Also, where does FutureAudiophile.com come from? It's not even in the conversation. Why bring it up? We have SoundStageAccess.com -- it does well for us, and goes for an affordable audience. But we have SoundStageUltra.com, too.

Finally, the comment: "needless quasi-MCM colors was a Desperation Move." Do you HATE hi-fi that much? There are a bunch of plain Chinese-made tube amps you can have for cheap. They paint the case, so what? Loudspeakers come in different colors. How in the world is that desperation? The decision on that was when McIntosh had it, well before it was sold.

Like I said, I don't know where you get your information from. But similarly, I have a friend who comes over and just, as we like to say, "says stuff" -- stuff he has no clue about. Oh, and I have NO IDEA why it's in receivership -- but I could thing of a dozen reason that are possibilities, but none that I know for sure and would not be spouting off here. If you think Ghost Meters put them in receivership, you're dreaming in Technicolor, BTW.
