I understand the MX-160 will be out in May 2010 -- just kidding on a sore subject. My dealer tells me he has 4 customers waiting and they are getting more upset as each day passes.

The MX-150 was unveiled at CES in Jan 2009 & had March 2009 release date. Totally unacceptable.

I have one of their incomplete preliminary manuals which I despise.

I'm also waiting for the new BR881 and the MX-150.We'll have to wait a little longer as you guy's, because we need 220 volt units and other regio code for the blu ray player

I can t understand why a company like Mc lies about the Mx 150 from more than a year !!

I can t understand why a company like Mc lies about the Mx 150 from more than a year !!

While I am very anxious to finally get my MX150, I do not believe that McIntosh has "lied" about anything. There have been numerous reports of a variety of issues leading to delays in the component's introduction, and yes, McIntosh could have done better at being more proactive about communicating whenever they experienced delays, but saying a company has lied when it experiences delays in bringing a new product to market is out of line, in my opinion. There is a big difference between having to revise previously announced availability dates and lying.
