I just received a MC462 and it's been flawless.

When is it assumed that McIntosh quality went south?
I've owned my 452/C52 combo for 24 months without having a single issue. Rock solid performance that sounds rich and detailed with my Salon2s. Contrary to some comments, I think they are bargains when power, features, cosmetics, resale values and SQ are compared dollar for dollar with the competition. |

I have had nothing but good experiences with all my McIntosh equipment, and the very few occasions I've contacted the company.
But, I must say, this company seems to come out with a LOT of models...maybe too many for what in the world of manufacturing is a rather small company. Back in the late 70's I worked at a McIntosh dealer and Oscar Erickson came to our store for sales training and said that the average wedding had about 200 guests, the average funeral around 100, so if you've "turned on" a customer, they may not rave about it to many in their circle of friends and family, but if you've turned them "off", you've probably turned "off" 100 others. I sure hope these problems are "isolated" and the result of increased sales...
