I have just heard from my local dealer that McIntosh will address the MEN220 problems in a press release - due soon! Perhaps some answers... Ted.

The press release might resemble an old-west style wanted poster with Dan's mug...

Seriously I'd wonder how they'll delicately explain that there is an inherent design flaw...

Well, they should offer a full refund to anybody that wants it. Instinct says they won't do anything or correct the situation.
