I’m constantly browsing facebook marketplace looking for the cheapest things available by these companies to try to score my way into hi-fi. Any thoughts?

The “don’t buy without listening first” commenters underappreciate the existence of the used market - I’ve had success selling every working piece of audio gear I’ve owned…sometimes at a small loss, but c’est la vie. There really is no other way to appreciate how a piece of equipment is going to sound in your space, with the rest of your gear.
The best you can do is make sure it turns on and maybe test it in their room or with your headphones.
If I wanted people who appreciated the used market I should’ve posted in r/budgetaudiophile but I wanted opinions on items over their $1000 mark of “budget”
Oh well, I got an idea of what the McIntosh sound signature is from this post. And that some people think Rotel isn’t “audiophile” enough.
The non-budget audiophile market is replete with people who understand the value of high-quality componentry, and of being able to upgrade without spending MSRP (as well as being able to offer great equipment to others when the upgrade big hits, as it does with many). As usual, the Reddit “audiophile” group doesn’t fail to underwhelm.
