Trying to buy my first mcintosh here..
5k for an integrated amp is a huge chunk of money for me.. and frankly im not sure i will be able to throw that kind of money right now... (i work part time..and have kids)
I have about 2k saved and looking for a used one something not too old, something with atleast banana sockets in the back and a nice looking illuminated front.
The only amps that seems easier to find used are the AV amp from Mcintosh.. most of them are in the 2k range.
But since i just want to listen to music (turntable and flac server) i need a mcintosh in the $ 2k range... and all i could find were the AV ones..
There are so many model numbers that it is confusing for someone who did not follow mcintosh history.
Before you answer my question, just keep in mind that i don't know much about mcintosh except the sound quality. And yes i have auditionned many at my local store ( i was pretending that i could afford one) but the truth is i can not spend money i don't have. i mean i don't have 5k..and probably never will..
