I was playing the Chris Isaak song Blue Spanish Skies on my stereo at about 35 watts continuous on all four amplifiers and it sounded unreal.The bass was incredible and it made my body feel like it was suspended in mid air. The guitars cascaded like a waterfall through the song and the vocals were deep and powerful but still subtle at the same time. The entire time this was going on my body was pulled into the pulse of the song.It was like an out of body experience without the use of drugs or meditation. McIntosh really hit the nail on the head with this equipment. C.M., Canada |

I never would have believed how much difference an amp would make in my system. As a long time Audiokarma guy I always bought the wisdom that the speakers are the first place to spend money, and sources are second. I now know better! I really appreciate the service I've received from you (and the gang on Saturday, when I picked up the box). The amp sounded and looked way, way better than it did during my first visit, I believe new gels or equiv were done to the meters, since instead of faded and streaky they are now ballsy Mac blue. The unit really looks like it just drove off the factory lot instead of being 30 years old. THANKS!!! I can tell you one thing... I am done messing with Audiogon, eBay and CraigsList for used audio. You guys simply make those choices obsolete. Once again, thanks and I hope to see you guys again soon. C.L., NY |

I just want to express my sincere thanks and appreciation for a job well done! My speakers have never sounded so good, and the amplifier is cleaner looking, sounding and more powerful than ever. Your quick turnaround time and flexibilty in drop off/ pick up situations is second to none.
You have earned a customer for life! G.V., NY |

I received the MC2500 I bought to you..... It is great, wonderfull. The Mc2500 is in perfect conditions as new. P.D., France |

They are beautiful and exactly what I was looking for! I hooked them up and they sound even better than they look. There is always uncertainty when doing a remote deal like this and I’d just like to say you and your company get a perfect score on this one! Sales process, packaging, paperwork, delivery … all top notch. I’ll definitely give you a look for any future AV needs and can happily recommend you to others. M.H. Canada |

You folks just made my day! My McIntosh MX130 remote control is failing (voulme up % down buttons work sporadically) and McIntosh told me that it cannot be repaired and they don't make it anymore. Your parts department has a new one and I can't tell you how happy I was to hear that. You folks are the best! E.S., AZ |

Thanks for all your help, and Frank, you be the greatest. It is a shame
that more companies do not operate like you folks, you truly try your best
to satisfy the customer, hats off to all of you. R.G., GA |

You guys have a special way of making a customer feel like family. You're all very knowledgeable, very helpful, patient, low pressure on the sale, and that's what makes for a lasting relationship with customers. All the way home I thought - crap, I should have just bought those PMC OB1's, put them in my truck and saved the shipping. I know I want them, ( slap to the back of the head follows) I guess I was scared of my wife, sometimes they can scare a grown man, sad but true. Anyway I took care of that and placed the order. Again thanks for everything. M.B., CT |

Thanks for your advice. I finally have finished the set up and now am in heaven. Thanks so much for all your kind help. S.I., KS |

Thanks for your always great customer service. The MC252 and MC7104 are hooked up and are sounding great in the main listening area. The MC252 is really a smooth sounding 2 channel amp. With new input jacks, the MC240's are back to 80 plus watts and life is also good in the cave. You guys have the best customer service going and if anyone ever needs a referral or wants an endorsement please use me as a reference. As far as we are concerned the 500 mile trip to Vestal from VA is well worth the experience for purchase and service on any McIntosh equipment. H.S. VA |

As my restoration project of my late Father-in-law's McIntosh system draws to a close, I would like to thank your company for your patience and understanding while working with me. In particular, Ryan Kilpatrick has represented Audio Classics as a kind, receptive, and knowledgeable gentleman. He always demonstrated respect to me as a customer and to my McIntosh components while they were undergoing restoration. I feel fully confident in recommending Audio Classics to any one searching for a truly customer service oriented organization where quality can still be found in great abundance. T.W., MD |

..... very happy with all facets of the purchase, your company is definitely top notch and the best packing job I have seen so far, keep up the good work! T.H., Canada |

To all of you who haven't taken the tour: you will leave that place with truly immense pride in owning Mac gear and supporting all the dedicated and skilled professionals you'll meet and see working. I was so impressed after my first trip there with Frank G. a few years back that I drove the five hours up again two months later to show my (then) 13 year old son what "Made in America" used to mean and to give him a genuine appreciation for the great sounding gear that Dad cherishes! As well, the scene at Audio Classics itself is amazing: great new and old gear and killer sound rooms. Ryan is a terrific host, as are all the guys up there! J.M., MD |

I truly appreciate your time spent and advice. The guys at Audio Exchange were definately positive in mentioning you all, noting your willingness and ability to source high quality gear, and your service & support. They were clearly placing you right on par with the factory itself for your service and support, and noted only a couple primary differences ... That you all were generally quicker and more responsive when it was within your bailwick, and that the factory was ultimately more capable of resolving it beginning to end when things such as laser & disc drive repair were involved. Both to be expected, I'd say. For my part, I will continue to recommend you all, and I have even more confidence and reason to now. Can't say thanks enough, E.C., VA. |

Haven't got the chance to thank you properly. It was a pleasure dealing with you and Audio Classics. The service provided was second-to-none. Thank you for answering all my quiries in a fast and professional manner (sorry for the headache), thank you for handling the shipment and thank you for the after service. Truely first class service. I will make all my audio purchases from you and will recommend all my friends to buy from you. Kind Regards A.A., Bahrain |

Just wanted to thank you for your time, hospitality and the advise that you extended to me yesterday. I very much enjoyed my visit and chatting with you, as I have been wanting to visit both McIntosh and Audio Classics for many years.... I am now kicking myself for not buying The book while I was there; I could be reading it now.Thanks again and best regards, R.B., AZ |

Just recieved the ADS L780 speakers from you, via UPS. I've got to say, the best packaging job I've ever seen. Thank you very much. I'm sure I will buy more products when I save the money. Thanks to all...R.M., SC

In regard to my purchase of the McIntosh C41 preamp and the MC2125 amplifier, the sound I get of these two pieces is fantastic and is just I was looking for. You guys package every piece so professionally and follow up on delivery. I only hope I can upgrade in the near future to the MC352 amp. Thank you for your help and professionalism. J.E., CT |

I couldn't help but laugh out loud when I saw the kitchen sink listed for
sale on the accessories page. Life is short, and too many people take
themselves way too seriously. God bless you guys for having a good sense of humor. R.O., CA |

I just couldn't help but unpack and set up the MC602. It was late Sunday night when I finally got the Amp all hooked up and ready for the first test run. The MX-119 Pre-amp was a breeze to hook in to the MC602. I utilized the unbalanced connections as it directly replaced the old MC-2300 amp. I loaded Joshua Bell's "Romance of the Violin", as I wanted to listen to "something quiet" becasue it was close to midnight. All songs sounded "Heavenly", with the silent notes "totally silent" and the violin's highs and lows soemthing sent from heaven.- Just incredible. The second album I loaded in to the Player was DVORAK's Symphony No.9 in E minor "From the New World". This is a special XRCD24 recording that I have been saving for the MC602. Again ,it sounded spectacular. Regardless of price paid for this new MC602 amplifier, all I have to say is: "It's well worth every penny spent". I want to thank you and the staff at "AudioClassics" for assisting us in adding this new component into our dream sound theater setup. P.s. We have truly enjoyed this experience, and we look forward in continuing to add additional components in the near future. Our best to you and AudioClassics, J.C., AZ

I made it home safely and with the help of a friend and a hand truck we got the speakers into my living room. The speakers sound great in the quietness of my house. Wonderful rich sound. Since my friend is an old rock and roll player, after listening to a short pipe organ excerpt, we listened to 'Dark Side of the Moon' (Pink Floyd), great sound. I feel that I have achieved my goal which was very good classical music sound with no limitations (except price). Full frequency and full dynamics. Thank you for all your help. J.I., OH |

Amp arrived packaged carefully enough to withstand the Flood. Will let you know how it sounds, A.S., GA |
