I'd describe the Mcintosh house sound as smooth. Non fatiguing.
I'm my opinion, it's a predictable sound you can count on.
When I hear it, it sounds just right...and I say, yup that's a Mcintosh.
Each time I add a Mcintosh component in my chain (swapping out a former internet darling flavor of the month), I say wow, how'd they do that.
Definitely bring some home on demo if you can and see if it's "your" sound.
