I saw this post on FB, I’m a novice but my dad has some Mcintosh and I know it’s pricey.
out of interest, what’s it worth?

Wow, to each their own of course. But i would rather spend on a great setup that costs even less than 25% of this setup, and splurge on acoustic treatments. Buying a lot of extremely expensive gear in an untreated room is useless (audio quality wise), but it works if its just to show that you have money and you are upper class.
And then you buy McIntosh ?? While you have so much choice. Like, D’Agostino, Nagra, dCS, Burmester…
I like McIntosh because they look cool
I bought an Anthem over a McIntosh and saved about $1k and got moving coil support for my Kiseki cart. I still think about that McIntosh unit though, they are so pretty.
That was probably the “smart” move but this hobby isn’t like that for me.
If everyone wanted to make the “smart” move, we’d see roads full of Prius (wow okay so I checked and the plural of Prius is Prii) and Camrys, but some of us like the “fun” cars so there’s Corvettes and Porches, etc.
That’s not saying the people with Prii can’t be fun, but they’re just doing a different thing than people with Porches lol. Both are great choices though!
Exactly what many of their buyers say.
I would buy a remote house with a dedicated room for that price and keep my current speakers.
With that money I would buy a beolab beast
Lmao quit hating
If you have the money to write a blank check to a shop, they are happy to take your money.
Acoustic treatments help correct errors in the space they don’t fix the quality of the system.
There’s a bunch of odd balls lately talking about room treatments like it’s the newest audio snake oil.
The vast majority or systems I’ve installed or worked on needed placement modification way more that “room treatments”
And yes I have no doubt you could get equal or better sound at less than 20% of this system
This is pure showing off

If you can afford this then by extension you can afford to pay someone to do acoustic treatment for you. If you can’t afford them both you probably can’t actually afford any of this.
