McIntosh has jumped the shark with their new designs, in my opinion.

I think it just looks.....weird. Like they ran out of ideas so they just combined two chassis together.

Horrible ! In my humble opinion ...tasteless. I would like to see McIntosh move onto a more modern design and get away from the past as AR did.

The MC2152 is the best looking fresh design they have put out.

The MA352, 901, MC1502, C8, MC830 are completely boring to look at with not good proportions at all IMO.

I wish they would stop with that style.
