General Feedback:
The loudspeakers (bw 802D) are finally at home. The sound is marvellous and I'm really satisfied with the purchase and your excellent service. The speakers are in perfect condition (b1?, "mint" condition would be OK). At first my wife was a bit angry (she said that the speakers were too big for her living room). Bue she loves opera and once she started to listen to some of her favourites CDs, she pointed out that size was not a problem.Thank you very much for your excellent and professional service. I think I'll be a customer of Audioclassics for many years. J.J., Spain |

Recived the Mac C31V Pre-amp. It is great. The condition of the unit is excellent. It sounds great connected to my MC7200 power amp. Thanks for your assistance. I will sure do more business with Audio Classics. R.M., CA. |
|
The MC7150 arrived today, damn that thing is heavy! Everything looks and sounds fine. I'm playing Bob James now and he sure sounds good. I must say that your B1 rating is so understated, my unit looks brand new! Have a good one! J.O., PA |
|
Thank you very much without your intervention i certainly not get back my money .Now all is in order with the shipping cost and your professionaly is like the product you sell.. the best quality . The next Mcintosh i buy will be buy with you A.G., France |

I am very impressed with Audio Classics. Mike S is the person I speak to all the time and he has always been extremely helpful, and very patient - I am always changing my mind, and coming up with all sorts of requests for quotes, and he is right there with good answers, advise and support. I have dealt with a lot of companies big and small and you guys win the award for best customer satisfaction in my humble opinion. I will be back again to buy more audio as my secret stash grows - don't tell my wife :) Thanks for making a small fish in a big sea feel like a king fish. M.B., CT. |
|
Well it's been a couple weeks and I wanted to pass on to you how
happy I am with the C2200. My system is sounding better and better
each day. R.P., MD
|
|
I would like to thank you and the whole Audioclassics team for the beautiful amplifier. Condition of the amp was great, B1 was a bit conservative, I would say A1. Packing was great, extremely safe. On the box is a little badge that says “Built with pride in America”. If there is one company that America should be pride of, it’s Mcintosh. P.B., Belgium |
|
The AC team resurrected a MC2155, C29, and MR80 for me 5+ years ago. Expensive, but they were like brand new. Maybe the best audio $$ I ever spent, nearly all of which was recovered when I sold them to upgrade. Savvy buyers will pay a lot for those Audio Classics receipts and shipping boxes! P.L., IA. |
|
I just wanted to thank you so very much for your help last week. The MC58 arrived on Friday and what a beauty. I am very pleased with the product and your great customer service. I'm certain we will do business again. You guys are great. Thanks again...H.G., WA |
|
MC60: Audio Classics cleaned up the units to look almost like new - far better than they looked when I left them for repair. Better yet they sound fantastic, much better than I remember when I replaced them for a better(?)sounding solid state unit - argh... where was my head? A.P., PA.
|
|
Please let me start off by saying how much I appreciate the way you and the rest of the staff have really just been a true joy to deal with, first class all the way. As you know I consider Audio classics to be a first rate company. M.A., LA.

This is my first MX110 / MC240 McIntosh combination - nothing short of amazed at how good the sound is. Smooth, but with no huge lose of detail, extended w/o any harshness on the top octaves, GREAT bass without being boomy. .... - between you and me - I think our industry has been walking backwards since point to point tube designs were abandoned for higher profit / shorter production time solid state designs. I REALLY am enjoying this combination. J.B., NY |
|
Thanks again for helping me "do the right thing" and plunge for the C2200! My cabin deserves it! It really was funny, though, that here I need to truly sweat a difference of $300 and you have customers who spend $1 million on a home theater system!! Should've listened to my grandma and become a doctor! :) J.M., MD |

… I just received my MA6100 back from a quick trip to Audio Classics in Vestal… George Melnyk gave it a good going over and restored it to what I can only imagine to be factory condition. He is a gem; there aren’t too many left like George. Ryan and the team at Audio Classics are spectacular to deal with; the entire service experience was wonderful…And, while I know that Audio Classics is not directly affiliated with McIntosh Labs, I just wanted to make it clear that – in my opinion – there are only a handful of companies on the planet that elicit the kind of passion that McIntosh garners – Porsche, Rolex, Singapore Air Lines. In the consumer audio space, there is only one – McIntosh. This machine came from Binghamton close to 35 years ago and still performs at levels that are head and shoulders above most of today’s equipment in the price range or beyond. And to have a passionate partner like Audio Classics, well… most companies would do anything to come even close to that level of third-party support.
I’m a Mac customer for life. Thanks so much for making the music sound like, well… music. D.S., IL. |
|
At last, we take some time to thank you. The amps sound really fantastic and indeed everything arrived on time and in a perfect condition...The MC402 and C2200 together with the Sonus Faber Elipsa are just amazing, so much space and air. I think the Elipsa really needed a powerful amplifier and the MC402 is perfect. The MA6900 with the Sonus Faber Cremona is fantastic, as beautiful as we expected. This integrated amplifier is such a good value and sounds in the McIntosh way, the way we love. Thank you again for everything. A.R.& D.C., France |

I just wanted to follow up on the Klipsch KV-3 speaker that arrived last month. I could not be more pleased. The speaker works extremely well with our existing KG4s. And the service from your company has been superlative. For instance, although the photos you sent showed some dings and nicks, someone there took the time to Sharpie-in the divots (which had been my plan after seeing the photos), and those nicks are now invisible from a foot or more away. Should (when) I have additional audio needs in the future, yours will be the first company I turn to. Thank you very much for making my initial foray into internet audio shopping an extremely positive experience. Best regards, D.W., DE. |
|
Thank you for this purchase.The amplifier is perfect.You have done a very good job.You have a great compagny and in France we have to take a lesson from you. A tres bientot et encore merci. M.H., France |
|
Thanks, Frank, for taking excellent care of your customers. I really
appreciate your phone call and the offer to send the hook-up cable for the MC352 and C41. A.G., AR |
|
The book arrived yesterday in perfect condition - Mr Tyrell's packing is just the best. There's a lot of reading there, which I can now do slowly as I am starting back at work. I was pleased to see your cheerful photo in the interview with Ken ! The text and the pictures are just great - it's a magnificent quality product, just like the Macs ! Thanks again. R.B., England |
|
I have bought you a MCINTOSH C24, I receive it today and I want to say all is wonderfull : very speed shipping, package very perfect, C24 like new. It's the first time I've buy you one MCINTOSH and not the last time. J.J., France |
|
WOW! I can hear a difference in sound quality.My Tannoy S-10's never sounded so good! The MA6500 & MR85 came to me as you stated A-1 cond. Thank you! .....Looking to hear from you soon,thank you again! I am a first time McIntosh owner! Thanks to Frank and Audio Classics! D.K., CA
|
|
You have been tremendous throughout this whole process, Frank ...and that's something I will long
remember about you and Audio Classics. I am an AudioKarma subscriber, which is where I have read about your reputation, and this experience has very much solidified it with me. R.B., TX |
|
I got the cabinet today..., I couldn't be more pleased with it's
condition. I have to admit that it looks better than the others I have
like it. I also wanted to thank you for thinking of including the screws
that hold the pan-lock trays in place..I know I have the old one's
around here...somewhere! Cheers! C.W. VA. |
|
RE MC252: It works fine.... Thanks for all of your help... ! BTW... Sounds wonderful... I'm very happy!
Thank you, gentlemen... J.M., FL |
|
Just wanted to tell you that we love the new system. I still have a lot to learn, as I want to use it to its full capacity, but it is really great so far. Thanks, S.M., N.Y. |
|
There is a large McIntosh dealer 10 min. from me. But Mike@ Audio Classics is my GO TO person and he give me honest no B.S. advice. Trust me, I bug him a lot. He doesn't just want the sale, he wants a relationship between customer and dealer. Two thumbs up from me. G.B., IA |
|
I just wanted to let you know that the MC352 is everything I hoped for and much more. This thing is just amazing! I thought that my MC150 was great but the MC352 takes the music and emotion to the next level! A
pure pleasure to listen to! Thanks for all the help, I am a customer for life! Will talk to you here in a month or so when I purchase the MX406. Many Thanks, M.R., NE |
|
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you ... once again for doing business the way it should be done. Maybe it speaks volumes that my dealings with you are remarkable at all. That I should be surprised and pleased to be treated fairly and with integrity. I’m not a religious man but I guess it really does boil down to treating others that way you wish to be treated, and I thank you for that. My new [other] amp is all that I expected from a Mac amplifier and sounds like what I was expecting from the first one. Thanks for hanging in there with me and making sure I was treated in the end as a customer who was laying down some hard earned cash and deserved to get the most out of what I had purchased. Take care until the next time I need some top notch equipment!! B.M., MA

I recently purchased a Marantz 112 in a Walnut case from you. I'm very happy with the unit. What blew me away though is your packing. As a collector who has received damaged gear over the years due to wimpy cartons and inadequate packing, your cartons are without doubt the sturdiest I've seen. Thanks! B.M., CA |
|
Your expert, brilliant recommendations on designing my system; the VPI, the MX114, the Classic Mc275 and the B&Ws have provided us with countless hours of sheer musical pleasure. In over 30 years, you've never steered me wrong. You are a joy to deal with & a true Master. S.G., NY |
|
I received the MC252 today in perfect condition, hooked it up to my 20 year old NAD and---absolutely incredibly beautiful music, even on my crappy speakers. By far the most expensive audio purchase I have ever made, yet the easiest at the same time. Thanks for your help. E.C., CA |
|
I just wanted to commend audio classics on their service. It has far exceeded any other service I have ever recieved when inquiring about products. I had the priviledge of working with Lee Campbell and he was more than willing to answer any questions I had about a bass guitar, provide pictures, quote shipping, and was superfast on shipping once the order was complete. I would highly recommend audio classics to anyone! Thanks again! D.S., WI |
|
....I received the Revox today via UPS. I'm very impressed with the shipping speed considering the weather in that part of the country. Your packing is also 1st rate. I have the player connected to my main home theater setup and it sounds very impressive. . Thanks again for outstanding products and service. Thanks Again, R.B., KY |

Thank you so much for Mac 250 power amp. It is perfect. Great packing. G.Z., Italy

Dan was a great guy, was here on time, and was very efficient. (I’m not only going to make it to work on time, I might be a bit early!) I’ll certainly recommend you guys to anyone who mentions looking to buy or sell a Mac. Thanks for everything. G.C. PA. |

Rotel RC1070, RB1070, RCD1072
Setup the equipment yesterday. It sounds absolutely amazing. I can't
not believe the sound coming out of my loudspeakers. They have never
sounded so good. The power is extremely clean and doesn't hint at
strain. Have only had it slightly above quarter volume. I'm afraid
to go higher. Plus it's too loud at that point anyway. I was never
able to get that kind of low end from my speakers without strain until
I hooked this system up. It sounds pure with no distortion. All sound is snappy, punchy and smooth where needed. Definitely happy that I purchased the cd player as well. There is a substantial difference between my streaming itunes source and the cd player. Even at lossless compression from the computer. All cds will be revisited. Thanks again for all your help with the equipment purchase. You were more than fair and generous with your prices and the few extras did not go unnoticed. I know your service is great and your ability to loan out cables and other makes it easier to make smart and satisfied purchase. The amp was in outstanding condition. As good as new to me. If a silver one does ever show up let me know for a possible trade in but I would be hard pressed to give this one up. It looks and sounds great. J.S., NY |
|
Thank you very much. It is good to know that there are still retail companies out there that are knowledgable, helpful, responsive and passionate about what they do. A rarity these days! A.T., CA |
|
You guys are awesome.... Greatly appreciate your efforts in my behalf. Rest assured if I ever have reason to sell my amp, you will get it. M.D., OH. |
|
My C32 arrived today and all I can say is WOW! This unit looks like it just came out of the box from the factory! The packing was perfect and once again, you have proved to me why I need to keep you at the top of my list for quality components. Thanks again for your professional advice and excellent service. Best Regards, C.P., TX |

So, I got a used 205 from Audio Classics that fit into my stash money budget( money the wife can't touch )Got it here, it looks great, works great, and sounds awesome. I am very pleased. Of course I am only satisfied for some period of time till the Mcvaccine injection of more new McIntosh in my house wears off and I need another fix. |
|
The MC2255 arrived in excellent health. Thank you for helping me with all of this. Audio Classics is a "CLASS" act and so are you. C.M., AZ |
|
First a word about Audioclassics: symply perfect, my preamp is rated B1, so you can imagine my face when i've seen a gear near mint! I've opened the preamp (i'm curious) and i've seen a clean gear also inide ...you have washed it?! Carry my appreciation to the guy at the shipment for the great level of
package, please. Now the impression about the Counterpoint: More detailed, "airy" and dynamic regarding my previous pre (Luxman
C120A), with more control on the bass area of spectrum, is the exact way that i hoped to find changing my old pre. My Advent Loudspeaker are like reborn, the stage is open, without listening fatigue, i can listen music for hours. The last word is for you, simply thanks for your patience and prompt reply to my mail, i hope to do business again with Audioclassics. Thanks again and have a nice day! E.M., Italy |
|
Wow, the amplifier is fantastic.
....The cosmetics is incredible. Sound impressive. A pleasure doing business with you, because there will be more. I apologize for my English. I'm not able to express all my gratitude and joy. S.V., Spain |
|
Received the unit and am very happy with it (it's terrific) - thanks so much for supporting getting this to Australia. I also wanted to thank you for your great manner and help at all times. Sounds like you are a part of a great business with Audio Classics; all the best success to you. S.J. Australia |
|
the (C2200-LED) kit has arrived and I have install it already in about two hours. The installing directions and the parts are great! The illumination is much brighter and LED lights are much more reliable than the original bulbs. G.M., Italy |
|
I would like to inform you that it's arrived...(The MC352)!!!!! Wow, was so heavy, It's been a challenge to unpack it and to position it on my hifi rack, but I did it all alone. It is pefect, also packed in a way very professional and safe. In this moment is playing and finally I'm starting to relax. Thanks again to you and all the audioclassics staffs, you are very professional, I hope one day we could met personally. I will start to advertise you to all my friends. R.M., Italy |

From AudioKarma Member...
I have a decade-long friendship/working relationship with my guy at AC. I've purchased lots and lots of gear from him, and he's always been there for me to help me trouble-shoot or just for a chat as I toy with ideas for the next step. I trust him implicitly to give me the straight poop no matter what. Before I bought my last system from him, he let me bring up my speakers and turned over AC's impressive Mac room to me for the entire day just so I could mix and match until I found just the right synergy! Try doing that over the 'Net. By the same token, he knows and understands that I had to turn to Audiogon to buy my previously owned MC205s, as they didn't have any and get them only rarely on trade. Yet today, if I had a question about operating the 205, he'd be the first person I'd call! He gives me the best break he can on new or used gear. I can't imagine enjoying this wonderful hobby as much without his friendship, and I'm proud to do my part to support the good folks on Old Vestal Road. Oh yeah: it doesn't hurt that he's got Mac in his blood!" AudioKarma member |

Here my opinion about Kubala/sosna imagination cables after a little time to break-in : It's exact they are warm after one week, sounstage becomes wide and deep, with a lot of details. They are very very transparent, neutral and fast; They are a GREAT improvment for any HiFi system. Would recommend to others of your customers !! You can heard without any problems directly an Huge difference. V. Belgium |
|
So this is what it’s supposed to sound like! I knew I wanted one for a good reason but I was starting to forget what it was.Thanks so much for sending a working, great sounding amp. I did not want to write to soon but I have been listening for about a week and so for I am extremely pleased! I’m not sure but I swear this amp sounds better than the first one even when it “worked” that first week I had it. Maybe the difference between the 6550’s and the KT88’s? I don’t know. Thanks again, all’s well that ends well! B.M. MA.

C 28, MC 2105, MCD 7000 I'm speechless....... Popped in Beethoven-Sonaten CD, and just sat frozen, in complete disbelief. It was great to meet you, see the store and talk to all the nice folks that dropped in. Excellent equipment, first class service, everything I expected and much more. Many thanks to you, the engineers and staff, I'm a very satisfied customer. S.B., PA |
|
after some days that i'm listening the amplifier i would say THANKS INDEEED MAN !!! it sound great and very sexy M.M. Italy
|
|
I would like to thank all of you for the excellent service the courteous manner and professional service in which every odder I have placed was taken care of. Your recommendation, knowledge and assistance has proved that you and the rest of the Audio Classics staff have a true love and talent for what you all do. Needles to say I will be a return customer in 2008. You guys are terrific. M.A., LA. |
|
I don't think I should disclose the price becasue I would pay more for the service I received. It took only three days to get to me and they delivered it at night to accommodate my work hours. Two thumbs up to Audio Classics. The Service is First Class and Mike is now my go to guy for everything. Thank you Mike! AudioKarma |
|
Well only two signs went up in the neighborhood after firing up Mick and the boys. Its ok though one was my sister.The other good news the Klipsch outdoor speakers blow the snow off the deck. Audio Classics is the best can't wait till the budget allows more McIntosh. J.S., IL |

My MA 5100 has just arrieved and it works great. Thank you for the quick and professional delivery. I am very
happy. T.G., Germany |

I am the guy you helped on the phone this past Saturday with a MHT200 problem. Your diagnosis was spot on, we corrected the problem of missing shunts and all is well. Thank you again for taking the time to help. J.R., SC (We helped even though he didn't buy it from us) |
|

|
Thru the years you have treated me very well. I let everybody I know about your company and excellent customer service!!!!. In my book it the first place I look for equipment. To my demise I currently cant upgrade, My daughter is going to collage next year and the cost has me blown away. Thanks again. B.A., MO |
|
... I received the amp perfectly. Thank you again for the very professional (as usual) packaging. The amp is playing perfectly! J.R., France |
|
I had a hickup with my MC2KWs recently, and Mike at Audioclassics TOTALLY took care of me from start to finish. Sometimes it pays to have a dealer working on your behalf when dealing the the factory. Professionalism, honesty, responsibilty, and integrity are qualities which gets tested when you run into trouble, even when it is not the dealers fault. They passed the test. There was no IF AND OR BUTS, there was no bullshit or excuses. They were completely honest and was with me every step of the way. If I was to buy McIntosh again, I probably won't be visiting the new dealers close to me. I intend to drive 5 hours to buy from Audioclassics, as a good working relationship and mutual understanding is hard to develope. If your "old dealer" possess the qualities which I have described, he will have nothing to worry about. R.M, Canada

Cayin A88T/6550EH
I am very happy with this amp. I listen to a lot of classical music on vinyl, FM, and CD. And that is the type of music I use to judge equipment by. (Don't worry, I listen to plenty of other music too). Also, this is my first tube amp. What I hear so far is an open sound with lots of space (air?) that gives a really good concert hall feel. Instrument placement is very good with impressive side to side and front to back imaging. There is a lot of bass energy and definition -- more than I was used to with the Rotel. And this amp takes my MD-90 to a new level, which was already pretty high. Thanks again for the great service. I know you graded this amp B1 (I think), but it looks just about new to me. B.M., |
|
you don't know how much happy i am. I enjoy so many years my pre-amplifier c-28 & amplifier 2105, with a mr-74 tuner recently. I like THE MCINTOSH SOUND, life-like !!!!! And the look, of course, especially the movement of needle in the blue eyes at my 2105. A MCINTOSH cd player for me is a Dream that comes true . At Shows in belgium ,i 've seen a McLaserdic playing a movie and recently i 've heard a
Mc Music Server BUT NEVER NEVER heard a MC CD PLayer (including never seen one in the OFF position also in the store where i buy the book) !!!! As I could read on the web, K/S cables are amazing!
I will discover these cables (not available in store outside usa/canada) who impressed so many HiFI brands! A VERY SPECIAL THANKS for your good advices, your help in this transaction, and other people working @audioclassics who can convert the CD player to work on 230 VAC giving so the chance to guy like me living outside USA to own MC products ! And of course your family who MADE HIFI HISTORY !!! V.M., Belgium |
|
Thank you for your help in setting up the projector and screen in our conference room. I have had the opportunity to use them several times and the audience has been very impressed. C.C., NY |
|
I received the Sansui TU-717 Tuner via UPS today. I am SUPREMELY HAPPY! The condition of the tuner is better than I expected, and I was amazed at the quality of the packaging job that your staff did. AND....You even included a copy of the service manual and a wiring schematic! You guys are a class act! I hope to do business with you again. P.L. CA. |
|
I want to thank you for your great seriousness. I never seen a so impressing packing. My 6900 has reach my home in France in a real perfect condition.Be sure I will talk a lot of Audioclassics ! F.S. |
|
The unit arrived today and it looks new (as with the other components from AC) ! Sounds awesome - so I won't go on and on...... Many thanks for all your help and advice on the phone. Always a pleasure ! Regards, B.T., CA |
|
.... both of us were very surprised by what we heard and the difference in sound quality that we were being treated to. Of course, I am sure that the C45 and the MCD201 also contributed to the improvement we heard. Still, I am very confident that a good portion of that is due to the 352. I am very surprised at how good the Proacs now sound. I was debating whether or not I would now also have to improve my speakers, but I don't think that that is necessary anymore. Interestingly enough, the improvement in sound quality of the MR85 really surprised me. Even the digital cable music that I pipe in through my sound system suddenly sounded much better.
All this to say that while I expected an improvement, the improvement was more, a lot more than I had anticipated. I think my wife said it best, after spending all kinds of money shopping at the outlet mall and assessing whether or not we got our money's worth, listening to the amp she said, "now that's a worthy buy". So thank you for your advice and for your patience, it's very much appreciated. Please thank Brian for the demo he gave us with the Dream system. R.H., Canada |
|
I felt obligated to write this note thanking your company for making sure my recent purchase of a MC40 and Mcintosh car radio arrived at my home in Canada in better shape than I could have ever imagine. You guys did an amazing job! When you said B1 you actually meant it. It's great to see a company in this day and age take such pride. Thanks again and I look forward to ordering more Mcintosh stuff in the future. D.M., Canada |
|
(MC7100) Amp arrived yesterday. Great packing, mint condition, sound excellent, all lights working. I would like to thank you for this deal. Best regards and thanks again, Y.J., UK |
|
Just wanted to let you know that I'm listening to vinyl with my new needle
which is wonderful! Great sound! Thanks so much for the great price also! Will keep coming back and will continue to recommend you to others as I've done in the past! Best! B.S., NY |
|
I have began something I call "listening sessions", with chosen friends, and musical reporters I know. The session open the morning at 10h30 and finish at 15:00. Each person bring one of his favorite record (CD or vinyl) and I play it on my system. Then I look their happy faces, and it's my reward. We drink a glass of wine with some light food, and everybody come back home with a lighter footstep Y.M., France |
|
I just want to thank you for your great customer service this week.
It's been a heck of a week tracking down the exact parts I want
for my home theater, but you really made the TV stand easy. On top of that you checked the address for errors (oops!) and got the part here the next day. Thanks again, L.M., VT |
|
Just a note to say thank you. The speakers (Philips DSS930) arrived in great condition. They work perfectly and sound nice. Whoever packed them did an awesome job - nice foam board fitting. Thanks once more, H.K., NY |
|
Just a quick note to say both units have arrived safely. We started with the C46 and the difference it made was just awesome. One of the reasons I wanted the C46 was because of the equalizer. Its turned out the unit is so good, I do not need tone controls at all - unbelievable! Adding the 402 a week later took things to a much higher plane and we now no longer feel the urgent need to change our speakers. Thanks again for two superb pieces of kit. R.B. |

I have hooked the MC501s into my stereo system and the soundstage of the Maggie’s 3.6Rs now has more depth! My wife... has also noticed the improved soundstage! We have listened to two of the CDs that were a challenge for the MC150 to play loud. We can now play them without lowering the volume! We currently own a McIntosh C712 pre-amp. Based on my very positive and delightful buying experience yesterday, I know that my search for a McIntosh dealer is over! Audio Classics is the only stereo store I have found that displays every current McIntosh product! Whenever I need to preview and/or purchase a McIntosh product, I will gladly make the 5.5 hour drive from Virginia to Audio Classics. Hopefully, the next time I am at Audio Classics, I will be able to take the tour of the McIntosh Plant. Again thanks for helping me find the right amps (two MC501s) to enhance the soundstage of my Maggie’s 3.6Rs! I will very highly recomend Audio Classics to anyone interested in purchasing McIntosh new and vintage products! J.G., VA |

Thanks for the book, McIntosh - For the Love of Music! I have already read it once and I am looking forward to my second reading. It is one of three books we have on our coffee table. As I read the book, I found passages that reaffirm my decision to one day own a stereo system with all McIntosh electronics. As I read the clinic section of the book, I could recall how proud I felt each time my Mac amp and pre-amp exceeded their published specifications. I also recall the disappointment of non-McIntosh owners when their amps and/or pre-amps failed to meet the published specifications.Thirty years ago when I purchased my first McIntosh integrated amp, MAC1500, my mom asked why I needed such an expensive piece of stereo equipment. Last week when my mom and I were listening to Dianh Washington, Brook Benton, and Gloria Lynn on my stereo system, she said it sounded like being there! Wow, what a compliment! My mom and I plan to spend more afternoons listening to my her prized jazz collection. We're I are looking forward to a tour of the McIntosh factory. Before closing, I want to thank you for signing the book and helping me improve my stereo system. Best regards, J.G, VA |

...the Mc 275 sounds gorgeously with the Tannoy TD-10. ... I enjoy very much to hear my favorite CD-s with the new detail the Mc 275 brought in - the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto sounds already breathtaking - .... So we are very happy with this product and the support you've provided for us. Wishing you great success in your business. All the best, F.K. |
|
I set up my system..... It sounds very good. Since I haven't heard "good" in a long time, this will take awhile to evaluate. I think I still would like more depth, but who wouldn't! Anyway, I am very pleased with everything and thank you very, very much for the enormous time you spent with us and lunch. My wife and I were very impressed and pleased.Thanks again for everything. I sure appreciate being able to talk to knowledgeable people like you guys. R.L., CT. |

the cabinet just arrived, this is ultra fast and the package is
excellent. What a nice cabinet for my lovely amp. B.P., Hong Kong |
|
Good call on that amp. Ah the new mc. Is nice. Thank you for your guidance on the mc352 and the autographed book. The amp and book I will cherish them both for the rest of my life. M.A., LA |
|
I received the PS Audio 5.6 Preamplifier I purchased from
Audio Classics on E-Bay. I just wanted to thank you for the smooth transaction. The preamp was incredibly mint for its age, and the packaging was excellent. I have already put it into operation in my primary 2-channel system and it
works flawlessly. Thanks again, R.C., GA |
|
The MR 85 is exactly as you advertized - in mint condition in every way. I used it for the first time last night it works perfectly as expected. This unit pulled out stations that I had not been able to receive before. The sound quality is superb. Thanks - for your product advise, and knowledge is greatly appreciated. M.B., CT |
|
I received the Speaker this afternoon and was very impressed with its packaging. You took a lot of pains in packing it and I deeply appreciate it. J.M., NY |
|
I want to thank you for a very positive sales experience today! Thanks for helping me purchase two McIntosh MC501 amps from AudioClassics and for showing me new and prized McIntosh equipment. I found you to be very knowledgable about vintage and current McIntosh equipment. I will be in contact with you when I decide to purchase a new McIntosh preamp. J.G., VA |
|
Received the 511-B Altec Horns in perfect order. Could not believe how well they where packaged. Very Professional. After our phone conversation i knew i would like doing business with Audio Classics. Thanks again, R.E., CA |
|
All I can say is thank you so much for such a complete and detailed answer to my question. Unfortunately, this kind of response seems to be quite the exception.... where someone will help you when you are not actively buying something. It's service like that that makes someone like me come back in the future and not look elsewhere. R.A., NY |
|
You know I keep all your emails as a Reference Book. I really appreciate the time you take and admire your wealth of knowledge and also your patience on a very personal level with your customers. I dont know how you do it. You have made all the difference in my audio upgrade: a very learning and pleasant experience. I will refer anybody to you.The problem is that thereare not that many people as serious about high end audio as they are accepting of cheap, main stream stuff you find in Circuit City and Best Buy. They dont take the time to get into anything. Shallow water swimmers!!! G.H., CA. |

just a quick note to say that the MA5100 arrived safely back... Thank you for the fast fix of its tape monitor switch problem. The MR67 and MA5100 look fabulous together in their L12R wood cases and sound even better. You know it's funny that with all the talk about poor sound from first generation solid state how sweet and musical the MA5100 sounds. Same thing for first generation CD players - yet the MCD7000 continues to astound me with its great sound. (I guess McIntosh got it right the first time!) The MR67, MA5100 and MCD7000 are making great music in my living room and I thank you Frank, as always, for your excellent sales support and concern for your customers. After all the years of doing business with you I hope to be able to get out to Vestal to meet you in person sometime soon now that I'm retired and finally have some control over my schedule. Take Care and Thanks Again! C.G., IL |
|
Just wanted to thank you. Saturday I hooked the MCD 7005 up. The sound of this unit is first rate. The sound is very detailed and just an out right pleasure to listen too and the unit is cosmetically near mint. M.A., LA |
|
Just to inform you your sending was well received and working perfectly. Once again for your support and advice and I will not hesitate recommend you other stereo nuts or freaks. J.vW., Belgium |
|
The MX119 is all hooked up and sounds and works great. Thanks for your help in making the selection of the MX 119 and getting the right cables from the source components. The system is logging a lot of hours. We always have something on when we are in the house. ( FM, CDs, or a movie ). The MAC history book by Ken Kessler really goes into detail from the beginning and must have taken hours and hours to gather all the info. It makes for good reading while listening to good sound on the MX119. Thanks so much for the gift of a copy of a well written history. I need to bring it along and get you and Steve to autograph it since you are both in the book. H.S., VA |
|
Now gear with the Audio Classics LED kits allready installed is a blessing & i'd be willing to pay a bit extra for such gear,i wouldnt classify putting a better lighting system from AC in Mac gear a mod, more like a must. from AudioKarma.com

When I was a little kid in the early seventies my dad would wake the whole house up on weekend mornings with lots of classical music, simon & garfunkel, cat stevens, and pancakes..yummm. My dads stereo back then was a Pioneer 4 channel reciver with some huge homemade speakers made by one of my 4 brothers. That system was awesome ! Then as we got a little older my sister started dating this guy Jim, one day in the late seventies I went over to Jims house I saw and heard my first Mcintosh stereo ! From that day I was a Mcintosh person, even though I was only 14 and could not afford such equipment I knew people that could afford it ..so whenever I was around my dad or brothers or anyone who would listen I would tell them to buy a Mcintosh stereo . Dad fell first in the early 80's and bought a whole Mcintosh system 2255 c33 xrt22's thorens turntable, Tandberg reel to reel. That stereo still remains in his home today !! My brother ... fell after dad in the mid 80's and started buying Mcintosh pieces , my cousin .... bought a Mcintosh system with Klipsch spkrs. I got married :-) By the late 80's I had somehow aquired 2 pairs of Mcintosh speakers (xr5's i think ) along with a 2125 amp and c27 preamp !!, I was in heaven . Over the years my brothers ..... have all purchased Mcintosh systems and they are all different . I've listened to alot of systems in my lifetime and lived with an everchanging system my whole life, Ive always owned solid state amps and have been very happy with them ...but somewhere in the back of my mind I always felt I was missing something special for not owning any tube gear . Now , on a hot summer afternoon in Texas the UPS driver pulls up in front of my house ...after I help him get the 1 large box and 1 lighter one thru my front door I start unpacking the Amp and CD player, everything arrived in perfect condition ! After a week of listening to a lot of rock and jazz the mc352 and cd201 is a match made in Solid state heaven !!!!! I am hearing soooo much more information now!! AND any thought I had about buying tube gear has gone right out the window !! The music coming out of my dynaudio speakers is ...well ...So MUSICAL !!! Im still in a state of musical bliss re listening to my whole collection of cd's all over agian !!! I cant say enough how this amp-cd combo is giving me sound like the finest tube gear without tubes !! ... I lOVE YOU GUYS !!! :-) Customer for Life ! M.M., TX |
|
I just wanted to say thank you once again for the great deal you gave me on the MC275/C220 combo to replace my MA6900. Even though my wife was on vacation last week I could barely get out of my listening chair to go anywhere… the sound of that tube combo is absolutely magic and it keeps getting better as the components burn in!
The MA6900 is a great piece but the MC275 is out of this world with the La Scalas! The C220 is just a superior instrument indeed… and the phono section… WOW. I have an old AR table with an Audio Techinica 440mla cartridge running through that phono section on the 220… it is unbelievably good. I have yet to hook the Scheu TT with Grado Sonata up to the 220… I just can’t get over the sound of that less $200 AR/440mla set up through the 220! It is a great all around preamp; I love the infinite volume and the silent switching and quiet running of the combination. I had never heard KT88 tubes before… I am astounded by the 275’s power and articulation… the music seems to come from everywhere and with great detail. This is indeed a millennial amplifier!
You have made it possible for me to have what I believe is the best sound possible with my ancillary equipment (as you know, mostly McIntosh from you!) and I am grateful for the super deal you gave me and for all the service you have provided me over the past few years.
Whenever I go towards Binghamton the truck always wants to take the Old Vestal Road exit… must be in the steering… or is it the driver? Again, Thank You! ST, PA |
|
Got here in great shape - you boys do some serious packing. The
quality is really nice to see in this day and age. ....I am very happy, thanks! J.K., MD |
|
Another BIG thanks to the service dept.
My MR-78 is back better than new.
They did some major work on this unit last year.
When it developed another problem, all got fixed under warranty.
Like they say down here "Dont get no better than that"
Thanks again. 73's J.Z., SC |
|
Re MA6900 The amp arrived Yesterday....in good shape. I am quite impressed with the sound quality compared to my old MA6100. Just as you suggested. The clean power is allowing me to play music at slightly higher volumes (my preference) with greatly increased dynamics including the bottom end... through my Monitor Audio RS6 speakers. In fact, it was like buying new....upgraded speakers. Thanks, D.S., PA
|
|
The speakers arrived on Friday, and of course I set them up immediately. We like them. I am experimenting with positioning. One of the claims, which frankly I doubted, was that the bass comes through even at relatively low volumes, but it does seem to be true, at least to a reasonable extent. My wife is especially happy that they don’t sound harsh, like the Linn speakers, but they are still clear and well balanced. Thanks for all your help. I’ll be in touch when I start shopping for a turntable. M.G., PA |
|
the MC2000 arrived today. ...the sound with MC2000 is now very, very,very good, close to heavens gate. What a great Amp. I listening to some old records from Ben Webster, Friend and Fellow, Holly Cole, Bill Evans and Tracy Chapman. Mostly I found a lot of new things in the sound I never heard befor. Great!!!!! A.G., Germany |
|
I just wanted to say thank you for every thing, The Mc. Is very nice indeed the sound is first rate. The night we set things up the Crown Royal was opened and the toast was made. One to Frank (McIntosh), Roger (Russell) & Gordon (Gow) and the other was to you Frank (Gow) for making me one hell of a deal and seeing that things were the right components that were a match made in heaven. Please if you talk to Roger please pass this on to him the xr19’s are fantastic speakers and the work he did with all the engineering and research really shows with these speaker. As a young teen seeing the 19’s in the black and white MC. catalog was one thing but to own a pair of these speakers is a fantasy come true. Thank you Roger. M.A., LA. |
|
Yesterday I received my MAC1700. It looks very great - exactly the description as "B" grade physical condition! I set it up today. Although not yet testing on all functions, the sounds from the tuner and when it is playing with CD player already impressed me a lot. This is my first McIntosh amplifier but I'd rather describe it as a little dinosaur dancing and singing in my room - the feeling is so good and it is you who bring it to me! Thanks very much!! K.S., Hong Kong |
|
Thanx for having me. The tour and your workplace were astounding. I have found my new goldmine in your store, there is absolutely no one in Connecticut who could come close to offering the selection you folks have. I doubt that I will now ever deal with anyone else. Thanx again for a very enjoyable day ! A.R., CT
|
|
The tour of the McIntosh Lab was AWESOME. Seeing the facility, and having you walk us through the creation of a piece of McIntosh equipment left me with a deeper appreciation and respect for it's quality. Simply the best audio equipment in the world. Thanks again. B.R., N.Y. |
|
.... just writing to thank you for the great amp. I could not believe how clean it is. It was immaculate. I am very pleased with the quality and sound. And the packing job was great. Thanks again Ernie.
later, D.C., TX |

Just want to let you know how much we appreciated your help and the time that you spent with us on our recent visit to your new location in Vestal. Everything about your operation is first class along with the service. I'm still in the process of installing the MX119 & the MCD7008.... Also many thanks for lunch and for setting up the tour of the McIntosh factory. (My wife) has been telling everyone about the tour and especially the demo home theater room. Again many thanks for the tour and the excellent service.You guys are Number One in Audio. H.S., VA |

I got the (McIntosh) MVP861 today and have been playing it for about an hour. Let me just say that you could not oversell this player compared to the Denon. The difference is not subtle at all ! the whole thing is much better, take everything that I described the other day and double that performance and it would still fall short for a description. I had to turn down my subs form 35 hertz to 30 hertz because the base and mid base are that much better. The ADS speakers play down to 28 hz and with the subs set at 35 there was too much there compared to the Denon.
My first impression is how the music just hits/impacts your chest with the 861 and it simply gets better from there. I using a little less output power than with the Denon, yet I am getting a bigger/fuller soundsatge, better dynamics and punch. The silkiness of this player is amazing.the piano, wind and string instrument are unbelievable. Even the harp on Diana Crawl's live in Paris was much different. I can"t wait for dark as it always sounds better at night! I know why the other fellow would not send his 861 back once he got it. It is great and I am sure that it will improve as it breaks in with use. Musical truly does describe the McIntosh mvp 861! Thanks so very much! Best regards, M.P., Canada |
|
I recieved the (Klipsch) CA6TW's today,they sound great! Thanks much! M.R., NB |
|
I am sending you this note to put in writing, my most sincere appreciation of the business transaction you conducted with me, with regard to my audio purchases. Nothing could be made better. From the very first contact through the many calls and visits, to the final completion and the good-bye, your kind, honest, and sincere personal contact is I believe, what it is all bout. My best to you and all in your endeavors. R.Z., PA |
|
Yesterday the XRT28's were installed. They are really nice. WOW, what an improvement. (Didn't think that was possible)
Once again, Mike Sastra, Audio Classics and Mcintosh(and a pile of cash) there is no sustitute. Your Old Pal, M.B. TX |
|
Audioclassics deserves everyday it's high business standard reputation. Many businesses those days make people happy , just when they get the service or goods, like a kid at Christmas. You make people staying happy for very long ,about what they got for their money!! Congratulations again to all the team at Vestal . J.G., Belguim |
|
Received the Beyer headphones today. They are a big improvment over my old ones. Much more comfortable! They work as advertised, closed vs open does make a difference.... As usual, I do really appreciate the time you spend with me. THANKS, P. E., CA |
|
Thank you for a great website and great services! S.H., FL |
|
Received the radio today. Superb!! It's been a pleasure doing business with you.G.B. IL |
|
I just wanted to send a note of thanks to you and your co-workers at Audio Classics. I have now recieved my 5th piece of gear from your business (Mcintosh amplifier MC30). I was throughly impressed with the overall quality of the amp (paint, chrome, and tubes) that I recieved. I look forward to purchasing the next amp from you guys when it comes available. I've read many of the customer bio's on your business over the years and you guys clearly know how to run an audio business to a very high degree of satisfaction for your clients. Just another satisified customer. M.T., MN |
|
Just wanted you to know I got the guitar. You really packed it well...thanks. The guitar is beautiful. I'm very pleased with it. Thanks again...R.S., NY |
|
Amp received and working. What a great packing job you guys do. So good I took pictures. You should brag more about it. It was a pleasure working with your team. The amp is purring as I write this - playing some great old Dave Brubeck on vinyl that sounds like he is sitting right next to me. You did an A-1 job cleaning up the amp and bringing it back from the dead - too many pieces to count. Well worth the drive from Rhode Island. J.S., R.I. |

A note to McIntosh from a satisfied Customer:
I just thought i would drop you a line to tell you that I fullfilled a dream i had for about 15 years.
I was able to afford some used McIntosh Gear from Audio Classics a few weeks ago. Sorry i could not buy new but it took me forever to be able to get whatI got. I know that new equipment sales keeps your company going of course, but for what I wanted it was just out of reach and I couldn't wait any
longer to own a piece of McIntosh gear. I was able to pick up a MC352 and C41, and I can tell you that i am in heaven. I am hearing music I never heard before. These pieces have such musical presence it is unbelievable. There are just no words to explain the experience of hearing a McIntosh in your living room for the first time!
It was worth the wait, and I would like to say thank you for being a fine company and making some of the most beautiful sounding and looking audio equipment on the planet.
Again, I wish I could have bought new, but I was able to get some incredible equipment and start my McIntosh dream off on a good foot.
I will some day build on my investment, and hopefully get myself a new MCD201 as soon as possible. Thanks again M.B. CT. |
|
Just wanted to let you know that the McIntosh speaker relay I purchased arrived today and it is a thing of beauty. Perfectly packed, I might add! I can plainly see this is the start of a good business relationship. You kindness and professional advice are much appreciated. Looking forward to doing more business with your company very soon. Best Regards, C.P., TX |

Most people take the time to vent their anger, but not many take the time to say thank you. I wanted to take a moment to let you know I got the Rotel reciever all hooked up last night. So far everything is working flawlessly. I actually got a chance to watch a movie and jam to some awesome sounding music. For the first time a smile came across my face. I really love my new gear. I'm very pleased with the overall performance. And I want to thank all of you for your help and cooperation. I did my best to remain calm and not be a pain in the butt.. I would not hesitate to recommend Audioclassics to any of my friends. I also realize that it was a Rotel issue. And I trust its now solved.
Thanks again for everything. B.J., N.Y. |
|
I wonder how many ways i can spell WOW!! I hooked up the amp last night, popped in Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon, and just smiled. This amp did just what I hoped it would. I have Ascend Acoustics 340 SE's as my main speakers. With the more powerful McIntosh, these speakers just opened up. A friend of mine is a sound engineer and the one that pointed me to McIntosh in the first place. I call him my sound God, anyway, I asked him last night if it was possible for instruments to sound more "exact" for lack of a better word, with the new amp. He was surprised I could hear that, but told me that that was exactly what a good powerful amp does, back to smiling. I want you to know how truly appreciative I am for all your help and support with this purchase, I will most definitely be an Audio Classics customer from here on out. Although the grading on this amp was C-1, I'd be hard pressed to figure out why. The amp sounds and looks fantastic. Your packing was unbelievable, it took me an hour just getting it out of the box, tell the kids in shipping that this level of service just blows me away, they did a WONDERFUL job. Thanks again.
When I finally decide to get a preamp, I will definitely be calling you guys. J.B, CA.

I've received, installed, adjusted & now I'm enjoying the GSA-700. I had to write and tell you it's a pleasure dealing with professionals. It shows in your presale testing, communications, packaging & shipping. I haven't seen this level of competence since my dealings with Pecar Electronics, in Detroit. I still miss my McIntosh stereo tube equipment & your sales brochure makes me drool. I'll have to resist. There's just so much I can do on a retirement income. F.D., MI. |
|
Dearest Ernest, You are the best, the best, the best. You deserve a large raise and maybe a parade down main street Vestal. Thanks for the B & W 804s. They sound just great. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Whats next ? J.M., N.Y. |
|
The Mac 7200 I just purchased makes a world of difference in everything else in my audio chain. Thanks, J.N., N.J. |
|
.... I have been dealing with ernie for a year now and have just recently become a customer of richs. I guess ive spent about 30K with you guys the past year. Ernie and Rich are just great guys to deal with, very helpful with product info and great with service. I cannot tell you what a great experience its been dealing with audio classics. J.M., FL. |
|
MR-77 ARRIVED ! It came this week - looks and sounds great. Thank you for the terrific work. I can't believe how clean the unit looks.
.... What care! And it shows.
Thank you for the terrific service - and way ahead of schedule. J.H., NC |
|
I bought a Classe cd player from you about 4 years ago, and I still love it. J.K., CT
|
|
.... I used to visit your store and drool all over the Mac's and killer guitars. Now I just have to settle for looking, ever so lovingly, at all your great equipment via the internet. My bro just scored a Mac off of eBay and he brought it down to you guys to check out. He said you guys were the best... you never charged him for replacing a couple of lamps and giving his piece the once over. Next major bonus I score, I'll be knocking on your front door with my list in my hand. Keep up the great work. R.P., IL |
|
I just received the Phase Linear (5100-II). Thank you for the fast shipping. The item is exactly as described. It’s OK for me. Thank you again for the kind communication.
Best Regards. A.D., France |
|
.... I bought my Mac MX-119 and MC-7106 amp from you! I am very pleased with my purchase. Thanks. J.C., CA |
|
Thank you for the excellent product knowledge and customer service. I feel much more comfortable buying McIntosh than some other brand amplifier. W.S., IL |
|
Thanks a lot for the shipment, all the articles are perfect, finally my system are perfect, still thanks. You are of the serious professionals. R.S., Italy |
|
RE Ultrasound Amp: This amp looks brand new. I had to prove to my wife it's used. Are you trying to get me in trouble???? Thanks and way better than I expected. B.Y., PA |
|
Just to let you know that the two AR speakers were just delivered safe and
sound. This is one fantastic pair of speakers that will go well with the
vintage AR-2 set that I already have. Should make for quite the surround sound setup! Thanks, and you can count me a happy customer. Regards, S.N., NM |
|
I'm still enjoying the McIntosh C712, MCD7009 (still one of the nicest sounding CD players I have heard, even without "upsampling", etc.), MR7084 and 2x MC300 that I bought from you several years ago (thanks to Ernie Schleider for all the kind help and attention) ....Thanks for your help, and look forward to hearing from you. Best regards, J.B., Great Britain |
|
Ernie did a great job of helping me out. The amp is insane, I am very pleased with it. Paired up with the C36 and the Chorus II speakers is a fantastic match. R.M. PA |
|
I finally set up the MC352 this past weekend and it is truly rich to
listen to. The clarity and warmth makes my speakers sound so much better. The hard quality is gone and definition improved. What a find! Thanks so much. I look forward to making further improvements at some point and I will call you then. D.I., CT |
|
Got home on Saturday and setup immediately. Forget the bi-amping, the Rotel 1080 with the C34 is amazing. Big bass, clear mids and high end, and great warm sound. Couldn't be happier. Thanks for all your effort and help getting us back in the game... appreciate it much. It is a pleasure turning business into pleasure when working with people who are not just in it for the money, but truly enjoy seeing others happy to achieve a good sound. Thanks again. T.M. NY
|
|
I got the c-2200 installed and I could not be happier with the
setup. I am totally thrilled with the MC-275, just like you said I would. Thanks again. J.C., NC |
|
The MR78 and MCD7000 arrived today. I just had to let you know how happy I am with each one. Not only do they sound terrific, the aesthetic value is absolutely first rate. I sincerely thank you. Your salesmanship and products are second to none. You've got my business for life! Thanks again. Sincerely, D.B., MI |
|
Quality is what sells, be it service, products or anything - and to me, McIntosh quality is legendary, not to mention the service and response. To this, I must add that Ryan of Audio Classics is one fine example of a highly customer oriented personnel. My deal with him on the MC2000 (and the MCD7005/MAC4100) in December/early January could not have beem more pleasant and joy! J.S., AudioKarma.com |
|
..... my Audio Classics ACP-1 MC Phono Preamp showed up in excellent condition. It is working off of a rega turntable with a denon DL103D cartridge into a Mac 4100 used as a preamp to a MC2205 and what a difference the ACP-1 headamp has made.Vinyl never sounded sooo good!!!Thanks for the help and will doing business again soon. J.P., NY |
|
.... I drove to New York to purchase a pair of KEF 105.2 speakers from you. Must be about five years now. I should have written sooner. Just wanted you to know all that has happened and how much I still enjoy them. So as one Hi-Fi fan to another, thankyou for all you folks did to complete my personal system. K.S. IA |
|
I HAVE RECENTLY PURCHASED A C2200 AND MC275 (USING KLIPSCHORN
SPEAKERS). JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I AM VERY PLEASED WITH
THESE ITEMS.....THE SOUND IS GREAT!
YOUR DEALER, AUDIO CLASSICS, HAS BEEN EXCELLENT. THEY HAVE BEEN VERY
HELPFUL EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. R.B., FL |
|
I greatly appreciate all your personal attention in our recent purchase of the Scoutmaster Turntable. Yours and the staff’s efforts, I’d say, went far beyond what one usually expects, even from a firm that prides itself on customer service.
When I reported back to you that the initial equipment I bought seemed to me to be less that we all had hoped for, you immediately acted and arranged for a replacement to be shipped to me, even before you received the explanatory note and equipment I returned to you. It’s one thing to have a policy that the customer is always right, but far better, if you ask me, that the store and staff extends the same level of trust to the customers that it hopes to get from them. I surely will return to Audio Classics for my next equipment purchase. GV, NY
|
|
.... thank for nice job you have done this time and the last delivery wich have arrived in perfect condition. N.G., Italy |
|
For used, do contact Audio Classics (price may be a little higher than the ones you get on eBay and the like) but services and quality should be tip top. Especially the service. I know cuz I have bought from them 2 items, the MCD7005 as well as a MAC4100 receiver. Hope you can find what you wanted from the website or better still, email Ryan and surely he will respond. J.S., AudioKarma.com |

RE: McIntosh C2200 Clean, tight, transparent. What an improvement. Plus, beautiful piece of equipment. I listened to Low Spark. Wow. Also, very impressed with Steely Dan recordings. Listening to too much music. I keeps me off the streets. The DVD is pretty good. Almost HD quality. The TV sound is much improved going from the cable box to pre-amp Thanx againg for the great service and the DVD trial. G.Z., NY |
|
I recently purchased a Boston Acoustics AVR7120 from you guys and Brian Smith has been fantastic in helping me figure out my setup. His help an assurance that we could figure out how to get my Bose 901’s to work with the Boston Acoustics really sold me on the product and the assurance cinched the sale. L.O., NY |
|
I value my McIntosh equipment beyond words. It is a huge leap of faith for
me to leave my most valued possession in someone elses care. YOU ARE THE MAN!!!!! Thanks a million for fixing my baby. J.K., |
|
It was very nice meeting you, and getting to see your place of
business. Being there, was like a Mac addicts version of what heaven
must be like! I really hated to let my stuff go, but letting it sit
idle, as it slowly would deteriorate, just didn't seem like the thing to do. I know that there are a lot of people who would like to have it, and I had so much pleasure listening to it, and just looking at it! It not only sounds beautiful, it is beautiful! As I said, some day I may come back at you for a 240! Once again, thank you very much. I am always checking your web-sight out, just to see what you have, so I'll continue doing that. B.D., MD

I received the Genz-Benz Black Pearl yesterday and played it ALL night(yawn). Best damn amp I've played in a long time.Love the triode/pentode option and the 2/4 tube option. The build quality
and detailing are much better than other brands. Boutique quality.
I'm playing it through some Celestions Blues and it couldn't sound better. The boost is amazing. ....This is like having three of my favorite amps in
one box, and I've only scratched about 1/10 of the potential of this amp. Thanks again... J.T., NJ |
|
Couldn't be happier with the AMP. I'd do business with you guys again any day of the week! T.H, MA |

Just wanted to let you know that the guitar arrived in Scotland in the best of health. (My) Husband is so pleased that he didn't want to go to work this morning. ....Thanks again for everything. C.C. Scotland |

A quick note to let you know the tuner arrived and to thank you for taking such good care in packing it. It sounds great with my 2205 amp and my old AR5 speakers ! D.B. Canada |

Hi Mike, i got it! Its fantastic, seems to be perfect, like new, the package was incredibly strong and very safe, ... Thanks for the bulbs and for anythings...im excited!!! R.R., Italy |

I recieved the Dynaco PAS Pre-Amp this weekend. Just another
excellent condition piece from Audio Classic for my Dynaco collection. Interestingly enough, your Pre-Amp is nicer than most all of the E-Bay and Audiogon stuff Ive seen in the past 4 months. The biggest kicker is it was cheaper than all of theirs as well. Thanks again, M.T., MN |

The second MC162 arrived yesterday. The packaging was at the usual standard of excellence I have come to know from Audio Classics. The unit is in mint condition. I have racked the new amp next to my original MC162 and have done some initial listening in bridged mode running balanced from the C38 Control Center. The sound is absolutely stunning and I became totally immersed in the listening experience in a whole new light.
....I want to thank you for your assistance in putting me so much closer to the music I love. At every step of my transactions with Audio Classics....I have been treated with respect, cordiality and like a member of the special clan that are the McIntosh user community.
I will highly recommend Audio Classics to any one asking my advice on where to go for "the best" in audio reproduction technology and the highest level of knowledge and sales professionalism. Please also let everyone else involved in making all this happen for me how pleased I am with the service. Best Regards, J.C., MA |

Received Cabinet for McIntosh Amp. Professional all the way. As described, well packaged and fast ship. Anyone considering buying high end audio equipment, without reservation, should buy from Audio Classics. Don't even consider Ebay. Thank you, J. L., MD |

Wow, this thing is awesome ! I am a classically trained musician and have been in many performances as a student (for 6 yrs) and later, w/ major symphony orchestras (NY Phil, Phila, Pitt, etc) singing in the Westminster Choir and Mendelssohn Club - so I've heard music from both sides of the stage...... This is truly the last (sorry....) preamp (or amp) I will ever need. Surprised at the open/brightness of the upper mid-range and the incredible depth of soundstage. Very, very smooth w/ wonderful transient response !! Tubes just seem to have a much better sound at lower listening levels - or maybe it's the warm, smooth sound that seems to flow rather than jump out at the listener.
Much thanks to you for your advice and to everyone at Audio Classics - once again the unit looks brand new ! If I ever recover from this gigantic expense - hey, musicians like high-end audio, gamblers like casinos ! Decided to use the MX-118 as my tuner - ever heard of a good indoor urban area antenna ? they all claim magical results, but none seem to deliver. Thank you again ! W.T., PA |

I got the MC275 last night. W/o a doubt the best purchase I have ever
made. It looks completely brand new. What a sound. I always heard that tubes "didn't do bass". No, that was wrong. I think I got another whole octave out of my speakers. Somehow my speakers sounded louder w/o actually being louder (spl meter verified). I
can't wait to get home tonight and do some more listening......
I had bought parts and stuff from you guys b4. From now on, you guys are the only people I will buy anything from. Do you happen to sell groceries by any chance? L.J., TN |

I have to give a MAJOR THANKS to Audio Classics. Today I bought a McIntosh my 1st one receiver MAC 4200. After hooking it up I could not believe the difference it truely is beyond my highest hopes.....all I can say is once you go Mac you
never go back and please give me no cure. Audio Classics rated my receiver B1 there were absolutely no visible or electronic flaws. I would encourage everyone to visit Audio Classics, their product and staff are 2nd to none. I waited 32 yrs to own a Mac and I thank you for everything. Brian I do not know what you are getting paid but you are worth your weight in gold and
thank you for your help in my purchase. D.P., N.Y. |

I recieved my ST-70 earlier this week that I recently purchased.
WOW!! what a Beautiful amp. I rubbed a bit of mothers polish thoughtout the the nickel finish and it looks brand new. Everything I have recieved from Audio Classics to date Vintage Mcintosh/Dynaco components have been outstanding in looks and performance. You guys do a great job in representing quality service, products, communications, shipping etc... Thats before I would even mention the outstanding shipping containers your business supplies. As I told you on the phone Mike. I, and many others could buy products
from Ebay, but with the quality and care Audio Classics provides as
a service, is a huge value add. Im done with on-line services. Been
burned one too many times. Hopefully, Ill pick up a MC240 sooner
than later. I imagine it will be a very nice one as well. Thanks again M.T., MN |
|
You guys saved the day! As you probably know, we had Steve Agrisano here in Vestal big guy in his genre - Praise/Worship/Inspirational and he was separated from his guitar in some flight. Panic time, until we sent him .... over to Audio Classics. You guys took care of them, and they expressed over and over their thanks and appreciation to you. We all appreciate your professionalism and attention.
Pass it on - thanks again. P.S., NY |

Just received my Definitive Speakers via UPS. They look great, better than I expected. The purpose of my note is to commend whoever does the packing for shipping. Excellent packaging! The best Ive ever seen!
My hats off to the shipping department. Thank you, T.D., MD |

I've chosen Mcintosh first for sound,quality ,history,looks and convenience of my dealer ...Audioclassics.com. I live 1 hr away from both the factory and them! I bought my Mac gear from them used (MC 2102's, MC2000 amps,C2200 preamp,Rosewood Khorns,ect..)My C2200 went awry,I explained my problem to "Ryan" at audioclassics and he contacted Mcintosh,they never encountered the problem I described. I thought to myself "OH brother" NO stereo for awhile......WRONG!! Ryan drove down to my house with a Brand new factory sealed C2200 and said "here, its yours" and took the other one back. No, it was not a loaner but an exchange,what company or dealer does that??? Nuff said! Tjnif, Audiogon.com |
|
I just want to say thank you for all your hard work at our home in the past few weeks. It is a joy to have a home theater. I have much to learn yet about the system. I truly appreciate all the work you went through in setting up the remote yesterday.... I look forward to getting together with you again in a little while after we have played with the system. Again thank you for all your hard work. Sincerely, A.P., NY |
|
... thank you for the great guitar I now have in my hands hahahahaha!, It arrived brand new in perfect condition in thursday and I took it to a gig on friday, and it´s a wonderful guitar, the 7-string neck is more comfortable than I thought. ... Thank you very much for the great price and service, hope to make business again soon, you made a guitar player very happy!!! F.S., TX |
|
Aside from his technical talents, Ryan Kilpatrick has got to be one of the best customer service people ever. He's he is such a relaxed, fun, cool guy to deal with. A real asset to Audio Classics. I hope to be just like him one day,...when I grow up!! Regards, D.W. , NY |
|
(My wife) and I just wanted to thank you for spending so much time with us. I’ve got the speakers hooked up to my MC2205 and they sound great! We’ll definitely be visiting you again sometime in the future. Again, thanks for all your time. D.B., NJ |
|
I have got the parcel with the items. Thank you very much.
It has been a pleasure to deal with you. Best regards from Spain, L.G. |

I tell my friend, who also enjoys listening to my MC500s w/ the XR290s,
how well you've treated me in all our business deals and adventures in
audio.....I told him not to purchase anything until he speaks with a sales rep. from Audio Classics. He knows with a purchase like that, one needs good backing, strong support, and friendly service. Audio Classics brings all of that to the table and I'm very quick to remind him of that. W.M. WI |
|
Excellent! Appreciate total truthfulness, expediency and customer-centric priority from Audioclassics. Thx j.h., IL

Got the CJ amp Today. Great unit. Thanks for everything. D.M. SC |

Just wanted to send a quick thanks for the C11. It is beautful and sounds great...... Thanks again for your help. The work you all do with vintage gear is simply the best. S.A., OH |

Received the Denon TU-767 in good order. Tuner is really exceptionally
nice and Im well pleased with my first order from Audio Classics. I was particularly impressed in the care taken in the packing of what was not exactly a high dollar unit. Thanks. R.A., KY |
|
It was a pleasure doing business with you. The receiver McIntosh
4275 is exactly what I expected it to be . Thank you very much! D.L., NY |

Just a note to let you know I received the Marantz 10B tuner today without incident. It's perfect; it arrived in such great condition and so beautiful! You were right; Audio Classics certainly know how to pack up a tuner! The 10B is such a marvelous machine, and a pure joy to operate. Everything I imagined it to be, and more! Now I can enjoy, in the best style, what most likely will be the 'waning days' of analog FM listening in this country. Can't think of a better tuner to do this on than the beautiful Marantz 10B. Richard did a great job on this unit. It performs flawlessly, and sounds even better. In fact, I've never heard FM like this before! It's just amazing! I am happy. Again, thanks to you and Richard for this opportunity to own one of the world's best tuners in such excellent cosmetic and operating condition! R.H., CA. |
|
I thought I would write and let you know that although I usually do not impress, I was completely blown away by your service and shipping. The packing job was as good as it gets. Triple boxing? Yikes. The attention to detail in the repairs was nothing short of astounding, right down to wrapping the cord properly and protecting the plug prongs.
In running my company, I have always felt that going the extra mile helped ensure repeat customers who were beyond satisfied. Your customer service has ensured that when I buy Classic, or whatever, you guys will come to mind first.
Thanks again...D.S., TX |

We received the MX119 last evening. The unit arrived in "Outstanding
condition". I carefully unpacked and proceeded to inspect the unit.
All I can say it was packed at factory specifications.
I read the book and followed instructions for a proper set up.
My wife said to me what was the big deal, that it looked almost like
my old equipment. I hooked all amps and SACD player, adjusted all
settings and fired it up.
We played the Eagles DVD Live Concert in DTS. It blew my wife's
socks away (mine too). It's been so long I have heard anything like
this. All I can say is WOW! 1000W RMS at .0025% distortion is out
of this world.
The MC2300 amp and 4 Hafler amps rocked. I stayed up late last night
and came to work kind of tired, but it's been an experience I just
can't describe. I hope the neighbors won't call the cops this
weekend!! Yeah...
Thanks again for your business. Can't wait to go home and play the
other albums in my collection. I'll let you know when I'll be ready
to put aside the 6 channel amp and the DVD/SACD player from
McIntosh.
Have a great weekend and thanks again! J.C., TX |
|
wOW !!!!! What a fantastic job .., The piece never sounded better . makes my other mr-78 sound really distorted .. YOUR company really is the best I've had the experience to deal with ,THANKS for everything including the bulbs ...D.S., PA. |

the package arrived and everything was ok. The MR85 sounds great and
the additional infrared is very helpfull for me. Your' far away in
the US, dealing with you is like buying from next door neighbour.
Thank you very much. W.L., Germany

I recently bought a McIntosh 7270 power amp. It arrived in pristine
condition and has performed flawlessly for a couple of weeks. If only one of the Audio Classics employees had arrived with the UPS truck, in order to carry the amp in and install it. By the time I lugged the 105 lb. parcel up two flights of stairs, I was sweating like Paris Hilton in a spelling bee. Audio Classics is the best! J.L., MI. |
|
Just realized I totally forgot to thank you and Audio Classics for
your exceptional service on my tuner last month. Not only were you guys quick and responsive, you actually fixed the problem! J.S., CA
|

Well, since no one has done it yet, I'll put my oar in the water for Audio Classics in Vestal NY, just a stone's throw from the McLaboratory facility. My first contact with them (and Ryan) was when I took two items to the McLaboratory for service and then decided to drop into Audio Classics to nose around a little bit. Well, two trade-in's and several other items later (on the same 1st visit), I started traveling the road to McNirvana with Audio Classics. Great people, great service, no pressure and true McAfficionados. Go see 'em if you have a chance. AudioKarma listing |

I orded some McINTOSH parts from you today was very impressed with how you
handle your self, thank you for the great service. I figured you guys were good when McINTOSH parts dept. said to call you... J.D., MI |

Thanks for another great deal with Audio Classics. The Marshall
amp head was packed to perfectionas usual. Best Regards, B.G., VT. |

I got the guitar Monday, it is sweet,and plays excellently. The case is also a beauty.....color goes great with the guitar. I really appreciate the quality of the service I recieved from you as well,and will look to purchase more form you in the future. Thank again! R.F., OH. |
|
Also, just a note to let you know how much I'm enjoying the MC-275II I purchased from you several months ago. I'm running it in mono with my other MC-275II driving Magnepan 3.6Rs. Wonderful H.F., FL |
|
Im very happy with the service I received from your store and we are looking for a plasma tv so we may be back down there to see the one you have. Thanks again, B.E., NY |

Thanks alot for sending those ML speakers. They were packed tighter than a bank vault. They sound really good with female vocals and classical music. In my trash talking circle of friends, I am once again the man. MO, AZ |

Thank you! ....You guys did a great job and provided exceptional service and we are most grateful for that. ..... It looks like you found some long-time customers. R.K., PA |

It’s the little things that separate the great companies from the mediocre. I received the replacement outer box for the Mc252 today. I immediately noticed that it had the Serial Number sticker pasted to the outside and not just a blank space. Thanks to you and McIntosh for this little touch that makes all the difference. C.K., PA |
|
Just received my MQ 109B. Thanks for the fast delivery, expert packaging and top class service. I sure will do business with you again in the future. E.Y., Taiwan |

I just wanted to drop you a quick email and say thanks again for the great deal with the Fender Blues Junior. I have been playing it almost non-stop since I got it and I really love it. Tubes will always be the way to go! T.D., NY |

Thank you so much for working with me on this...and I'll be emailing Ryan a big "thank you" also for all of his consideration in this matter. AC is number one in my book and I'll keep coming back for more! Is George your relative? George did a terrific job of finding the gremlins in a Mac 250 power amp I bought in January...he is a genius and can fix anything, that's for sure! It now sounds amazing! Again, thank you for everything! S.T., PA. |
|
I just wanted to thank you for your time in answering our questions, and providing us valuable insight into the home theater market. Your answers and insight has been very valuable... Thank you for your time again. J.V. NY |
|
I finally set the Odysseys up. They sound AMAZING. I'm VERY happy with my purchase and look forward to dealing with you in the future. Thanks for everything, D.K., TX |

I would only consider buying from Audio Classics --- you get to deal with a business with a very solid reputation on this forum, and you know that the unit you are buying has been properly restored. AudioKarma.com listing |
|
I received the DBX 400X route selector. The item was in excellent
condition, packing was was great also. The Unit was just as descibed. You guys are very professional !!!! I look foward in doing business with yall again. Until next time take care. Thank you D.L., NY
|

Thank you for the wonderful deal you gave me on the Mac MR77 tuner… it is just great! The overall sound of this tuner is just outstanding; surely the best I’ve ever heard! It goes nicely with the MC250 / MX 115 combo for my “vintage system” and I will of course be using the 88 with the mighty MAC6900 if I can ever get away from this beautiful “60’s” sound generated by these components! As usual you came up with a sweet deal my budget could handle… I am most pleased to be a steady customer at Audio Classics; everyone there has done well by me and the service you guys provide is top shelf… thanks for all the assistance you, Ryan, and George have given me!Thanks again! S.T., PA |

I'm oversatisfied with my 3 Mc I've bought you last 3 months and with
Audioclassics (and Mike in particular). J.A. France |

thank you for the great service, quick responses, and fast shipping! am loving the 3.3s. K.K., NY |
|
Just wanted to say how pleased I am with how things turned out on the Mac
tuner and amp. Got everything hooked up and the system never sounded better. Your packaging for return shipment of the amp and tuner was super. My thanks to everyone at Audio Classics who made this happen.
Hope to work with you folks again. J.D., MD |
|
MC500 is slightly older, (1994-1999) and, of course, a bit more powerful, but the MC352 had the Quad-Balanced design that the MC500 lacked.
This gives you even lower distortion and better S/N, and is the standard design for our bigger amps today. The MC352 was our best selling amp through out it's model life and Audio Classics offers a kit to convert it to the Fiber optic/LED lighting so the bulbs wont burn out.
Unless you have a very inefficient speaker that needs the extra watts of the MC500, I would go with the 352. Chuck Hinton of McIntosh Tech Support |
|
You came through again! Setup sounds great. Thanks for all of your help.
Will certainly call back as my needs arise down the road! B.C., NY
|

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the wonderful service you provided when my Mac 250 started to act up in a rather mysterious fashion. I picked it up at Audio Classics on March 1st and have been running it ever since and it has been truly fixed! You did a great job on this unit! I have turned it on and off repeated times and have run it for hours on end and I can truthfully say that it sounds better than it did when I first bought it.... The 250 does in fact sound “tubey” and somehow really the La Scalas sing...and I am most pleased to have this beautifully rebuilt unit in my amplifier stable…
I really appreciate the time and effort you put in the 250 redo and the fact that you telephoned me to help get to the heart of the problem really shows how much you care for the welfare of the client. Audio classics is very fortunate to have you to turn to when the going gets rough and a component needs that special someone who knows the ins and outs of all the Mac devices from the tube era on up to today… and you are that man! Thanks again for solving an enigma and returning a classics piece of audio to the land of the living. S.T., PA.

I think I have to agree, however, that Audio Classics is hard to beat. I have never been there (I plan to make the pilgrimage to the Bing this
summer), but they have serviced two of my units and did a great job and were a pleasure to deal with. another AudioKarma.com posting |

However, you won't go wrong dealing with Audio Classics. Great place - great service, great people. Too bad there can't be an Audio Classics where everyone lives! AudioKarma posting |

Just received my new all wood cabinet from "Audioclassics".Very nice,solid tiger maple,finished in a nice dark stain.Installed it on the Mac and it looks like a million bucks.A vast improvement over the original.Good price $149 plus shipping,a little over $220 CANADIAN at my door,10 days,just thrilled. Thanks all at Audioclassics.If you have a MAC4100, look seriously into this it is worth it,a classic receiver now better! B.R. Canada |

AudioClassics treats you right even if you buy a McCarAmp like I did from them....they took care of the repair and packed it like it was the last kidney available. AudioKarma listing |

Thanks for the help with my system. You sold me a MC275-IV to go with my C2200......I love this combo. I will stop in and spend more money next time... T.A., NY |

....you absolutely cannot do better than Audio Classics. Make it a special trip, stay overnight, tour the McIntosh factory, audition to your heart's content. They'll treat you like a McPrince! It's all part of the special McIntosh experience AudioKarma Posting |

Audio Classics can't be beat for customer service, selection and trades in the NE area. I drive from VT to Audio Classics which is a six hour drive and worth the trip. As suggested above make a day trip or an overnighter, bring some CD's,
listen to every combination of gear and tour the McIntosh factory. AudioKarma Posting |

Re PMC DB1+ & Cayin A70T: Well, it has been about 2 weeks since I installed my new amp and speakers. At first I must admit I was sort of disappointed. For the first 1/2 hour I thought oh god I just bought a 2.5 thousand dollar Kraco. Apparently tubes take a while to warm up / break in or something?.... It took me a while to "settle in" to the music to actually realize just how clear it was. Very enjoyable! ANY defect in recording is illuminated with a big bright flashlight with this system. As if the speakers shine a light on it and say 'look, there it is, there is the recording flaw!" .... Wow! The sound stage is amazing! The thing that most impressed me was the way the system reproduces voice. It is if the person is standing in front of you singing. Thank you for you input and help on this. It is a fine system. I am very happy with it. R.P., WA. |

Custom Install: I stopped by the house last night and everything looks good! Thanks .... for accommodating our tight schedule. D.B., N.Y. |

Klipsch Heresy II: ....at first I was a little disapointed, but the more I listened, the better I like them. After a full weekend of listening, all I can say is, "Thanks", glad we did business. It was a long ride but worth it to me, and in the end, I got what I wanted, and they are brand new, not used. Thanks again, you were the difference in this purchase. You took took the time to respond to my E-mails, treated me like a customer should be treated, a good transaction all around.I will not hesitate to tell other people about Audio Classics, and recomend you handle any questions they may have. Keep up the good work. Maybe someday I'll be back looking for some Mac equipment to drive my speakers. Thank You for your help. R.D., NY |

i just finished hooking up the 2155, 831 and a mx113 to a 603 set of b&ws. The equipment sounds great. I want to thank you once again for your help in setting up my systems. thanks again. J.M., N.Y. |

You do not know what a purchase of my first McIntosh means for me . I always had a dream to have it since I loved music and smuggled some McIntosh brochures. Living in communist era in Czechoslovakia it was not possible even think about to own one of these even I had a Master degree in Metallurgy (salary $120 / month) . Defected in 1986 and after spending 10 months in a refuge camp in Europe. Only after 3rd interview Canada accepted us . So we landed with three suitcases in Toronto in April 1987 and came to USA in 1991and became citizens in 2003. We love old America . I love "Made in USA". My wife is a piano teacher (and we are) both are looking forward (to the) MAC6500 as well because we collected about 2,000 LP's since we are in the states. We will always listen to LP's when we will be dinning at our house. In other words my dream came through. Thank you personally for serving me with your knowledge and thank you Audio Classics that they exists and serve people in a very pro way. You are doing a good name for this country in the entire world which is very necessary because this great country has so many enemies inside and outside. Thank you again and please give my compliments to your President and the whole management. God bless America. T.O., OH |

....I love you guys, and recommend you on every forum I can. The car audio stuff seems like it could be more of a hassle to sell, so I appreciate the fact that you do- even though I've grown beyond the hobby. All it took was hearing a good two channel system to realize an automobile can't compare acoustically. J.M., IN |

Just wanted to thank you all for the excellent service given to me this
week..., with my puchase of the Martin Guitar. Great Prices and
Great service is truly hard to find these days...A special Thanks ..... for showing me every available DX-1 in in stock. The guitars were all nice, but it was that last one we opened that sealed the deal. Thanks. B.V. NY |

Received the McIntosh gear as you promised and in outstanding order.
Wired it all up last night...it sounds incredible. In my 38 years of buying audio I've never been treated as well and professionaly as you and your organization treated me. Thanks for all your help. Looking forward to more business with you and your company. R.P., AL.

WARNING -- entering the inner sanctums (sanctii?) of Audio Classics can lead to uncontrollable desires! I have been a very bad boy lately (and likely worse to come). There's all that lovely McBlue lighting on the McGoodies - and they make fine music as well. Seriously, they treat you like to want to be treated. Don't miss the chance to see them if you can. C.K., PA. |

Received Speakers Today!!! Super Packing Your the Best!!! Do Business Anytime!!! Thanks A.L.,AK |

I recieved my mr66 tuner today, I love it. Since I did not spend megabucks for the tuner I was worried
about the condition of the tuner. I am totally satisfied!!!.. Condition C4 was very misleading. The unit is very clean with very minor pitting and operational.It will need a tuning and some new caps. As funds allow I will buy again from you folks. A.E., KS. |

MAC 1700. (The tuner in that thing is incredible!) Anyway, with the MAC1700 driving my ancient Klipsch Cornwalls and the MAC4100 driving the old Klipschorns in my second system I have an embarassment of sound riches thanks to you - much appreciated! C.G., IL |

I'd like to thank you for all your help in my recent purchase of the
MC275II and the cabinet The amplifier and new cabinet are in magnificent condition, better than I had anticipated, and I particularly appreciate you sending the new cabinet and a pickup for the old one at your expense. I am running both of my MC275IIs in mono, driving Magnepan 3.6Rs, and the sound is wonderful. I wasn't sure how much difference it would make, but it is significant. Thanks again. It is indeed a pleasure to do business with professionals such as AudioClassics. H.F., FL. |

...I am very, very happy about my trade/purchase .... two Dynaco
Mark III power amps. I got them today. I have owned many of these MKIII's over the years as well as Mac MC-30's, 60's, A-116's. The two MK III's I got were better than I expected! I put them into my sound system today and... how they sound really GREAT! These sound like new Dynacos. The MKIII's sound as good or better than the solid-state QSC HD1450 commercial 240 Watt per channel solid state amps I had in place before! A.S., OK |

I just received the McIntosh gear.... I just wanted to send you a note to let you know how incredibly well I was treated by Frank Gow. He did an outstanding job of providing me with "best-in-class" service. I wish all my buying experiences were as good as what I just experienced |
