Im looking to buy mcintosh mht 200 Does any one have any comments on this receiver?Also i found out its not upgradable..im not what that really means. Any advice
I think George has been put on the HT carousel here. George, if you want quality sound reproduction, Mac is where to start. 'specially with some Bary White and sweet wine.
I'll probably be asking this until I actually try (hear) it... but what does an awesome speaker on a cheap component or vice verse sound like? A super expensive component of the chain and the rest bargain basement or how does a super high-end line of components react when you put the cheapest thing you can there. 100g cables between a $4 Cd player on cheap batteries and a 2" Bose driver (sealed, like .0001ft³ box).
I just had to ask. You know I'm always wondering "What If?"
OT OFF
McIntosh and Lexicon both ROCK. I'd be torn between them too (if they were free).
Call McIntosh, they are very friendly and helpful people who will give you a straight answer about upgrades. I hate to say it but selling off of someone else's product is a common theme in high end audio and seldom respresents the best way to serve a client. Quite honestly, there should be no reason to disparage the other product if yours is truly as good or better. Maybe I'm misreading the words here, but whether this salesperson has been giving you good advice up to now or not, I would always be wary of anyone who can't sell their own product on its own merits. Informing a client of a well know shortcoming of another product is quite different. Unfortunately, few of us on this forum invest in Mac's HT gear so we're not up to date on their HT products. Call Mac and also Harman International for information on the Lexicon component also, both companies have a well deserved reputation for customer service. Get the information direct from the manufacturer not from a self serving salesperson.
From what I understand it's $150, only available through McIntosh & dealers, and is limited edition.
I imagine if i pick-up a copy, I can sell it for for at least what I bought it for a month or two from now (at 300 pages it might take me that long to get through it).
it could be like a John Irving novel, but involving McIntosh, small autos and a strange yet involving plotline about an online forum. Still working on the bear.
