Yesterday I received my MAC1700. It looks very great - exactly the description as "B" grade physical condition! I set it up today. Although not yet testing on all functions, the sounds from the tuner and when it is playing with CD player already impressed me a lot. This is my first McIntosh amplifier but I'd rather describe it as a little dinosaur dancing and singing in my room - the feeling is so good and it is you who bring it to me! Thanks very much!!

Thanx for having me. The tour and your workplace were astounding. I have found my new goldmine in your store, there is absolutely no one in Connecticut who could come close to offering the selection you folks have. I doubt that I will now ever deal with anyone else. Thanx again for a very enjoyable day ! A.R., CT

Just want to let you know how much we appreciated your help and the time that you spent with us on our recent visit to your new location in Vestal. Everything about your operation is first class along with the service. I'm still in the process of installing the MX119 & the MCD7008.... Also many thanks for lunch and for setting up the tour of the McIntosh factory. (My wife) has been telling everyone about the tour and especially the demo home theater room. Again many thanks for the tour and the excellent service.You guys are Number One in Audio. H.S., VA |

I got the (McIntosh) MVP861 today and have been playing it for about an hour. Let me just say that you could not oversell this player compared to the Denon. The difference is not subtle at all ! the whole thing is much better, take everything that I described the other day and double that performance and it would still fall short for a description. I had to turn down my subs form 35 hertz to 30 hertz because the base and mid base are that much better. The ADS speakers play down to 28 hz and with the subs set at 35 there was too much there compared to the Denon.
My first impression is how the music just hits/impacts your chest with the 861 and it simply gets better from there. I using a little less output power than with the Denon, yet I am getting a bigger/fuller soundsatge, better dynamics and punch. The silkiness of this player is amazing.the piano, wind and string instrument are unbelievable. Even the harp on Diana Crawl's live in Paris was much different. I can"t wait for dark as it always sounds better at night! I know why the other fellow would not send his 861 back once he got it. It is great and I am sure that it will improve as it breaks in with use. Musical truly does describe the McIntosh mvp 861! Thanks so very much! Best regards, M.P., Canada |

From the very first contact through the many calls and visits, to the final completion and the good-bye, your kind, honest, and sincere personal contact is I believe, what it is all bout. My best to you and all in your endeavors. R.Z., PA |

I just wanted to send a note of thanks to you and your co-workers at Audio Classics. I have now recieved my 5th piece of gear from your business (Mcintosh amplifier MC30). I was throughly impressed with the overall quality of the amp (paint, chrome, and tubes) that I recieved. I look forward to purchasing the next amp from you guys when it comes available. I've read many of the customer bio's on your business over the years and you guys clearly know how to run an audio business to a very high degree of satisfaction for your clients. Just another satisified customer. M.T., MN |

Just wanted you to know I got the guitar. You really packed it well...thanks. The guitar is beautiful. I'm very pleased with it. Thanks again...R.S., NY |

Amp received and working. What a great packing job you guys do. So good I took pictures. You should brag more about it. It was a pleasure working with your team. The amp is purring as I write this - playing some great old Dave Brubeck on vinyl that sounds like he is sitting right next to me. You did an A-1 job cleaning up the amp and bringing it back from the dead - too many pieces to count. Well worth the drive from Rhode Island. J.S., R.I. |

A note to McIntosh from a satisfied Customer:
I just thought i would drop you a line to tell you that I fullfilled a dream i had for about 15 years.
I was able to afford some used McIntosh Gear from Audio Classics a few weeks ago. Sorry i could not buy new but it took me forever to be able to get whatI got. I know that new equipment sales keeps your company going of course, but for what I wanted it was just out of reach and I couldn't wait any
longer to own a piece of McIntosh gear. I was able to pick up a MC352 and C41, and I can tell you that i am in heaven. I am hearing music I never heard before. These pieces have such musical presence it is unbelievable. There are just no words to explain the experience of hearing a McIntosh in your living room for the first time!
It was worth the wait, and I would like to say thank you for being a fine company and making some of the most beautiful sounding and looking audio equipment on the planet.
Again, I wish I could have bought new, but I was able to get some incredible equipment and start my McIntosh dream off on a good foot.
I will some day build on my investment, and hopefully get myself a new MCD201 as soon as possible. Thanks again M.B. CT. |

Just wanted to let you know that the McIntosh speaker relay I purchased arrived today and it is a thing of beauty. Perfectly packed, I might add! I can plainly see this is the start of a good business relationship. You kindness and professional advice are much appreciated. Looking forward to doing more business with your company very soon. Best Regards, C.P., TX |

Most people take the time to vent their anger, but not many take the time to say thank you. I wanted to take a moment to let you know I got the Rotel reciever all hooked up last night. So far everything is working flawlessly. I actually got a chance to watch a movie and jam to some awesome sounding music. For the first time a smile came across my face. I really love my new gear. I'm very pleased with the overall performance. And I want to thank all of you for your help and cooperation. I did my best to remain calm and not be a pain in the butt.. I would not hesitate to recommend Audioclassics to any of my friends. I also realize that it was a Rotel issue. And I trust its now solved.
Thanks again for everything. B.J., N.Y. |

I wonder how many ways i can spell WOW!! I hooked up the amp last night, popped in Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon, and just smiled. This amp did just what I hoped it would. I have Ascend Acoustics 340 SE's as my main speakers. With the more powerful McIntosh, these speakers just opened up. A friend of mine is a sound engineer and the one that pointed me to McIntosh in the first place. I call him my sound God, anyway, I asked him last night if it was possible for instruments to sound more "exact" for lack of a better word, with the new amp. He was surprised I could hear that, but told me that that was exactly what a good powerful amp does, back to smiling. I want you to know how truly appreciative I am for all your help and support with this purchase, I will most definitely be an Audio Classics customer from here on out. Although the grading on this amp was C-1, I'd be hard pressed to figure out why. The amp sounds and looks fantastic. Your packing was unbelievable, it took me an hour just getting it out of the box, tell the kids in shipping that this level of service just blows me away, they did a WONDERFUL job. Thanks again.
When I finally decide to get a preamp, I will definitely be calling you guys. J.B, CA.

I've received, installed, adjusted & now I'm enjoying the GSA-700. I had to write and tell you it's a pleasure dealing with professionals. It shows in your presale testing, communications, packaging & shipping. I haven't seen this level of competence since my dealings with Pecar Electronics, in Detroit. I still miss my McIntosh stereo tube equipment & your sales brochure makes me drool. I'll have to resist. There's just so much I can do on a retirement income. F.D., MI. |

Dearest Ernest, You are the best, the best, the best. You deserve a large raise and maybe a parade down main street Vestal. Thanks for the B & W 804s. They sound just great. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Whats next ? J.M., N.Y. |

I bought a Classe cd player from you about 4 years ago, and I still love it. J.K., CT

.... I used to visit your store and drool all over the Mac's and killer guitars. Now I just have to settle for looking, ever so lovingly, at all your great equipment via the internet. My bro just scored a Mac off of eBay and he brought it down to you guys to check out. He said you guys were the best... you never charged him for replacing a couple of lamps and giving his piece the once over. Next major bonus I score, I'll be knocking on your front door with my list in my hand. Keep up the great work. R.P., IL |
