i was wondering if any of you guys/girls have had any experience with mcintosh home/car audio. i really like the look of all of their stuff and there is no one in minnesota north dakota or south dakota that sells the car audio part, there is only 40 dealers out there that sell it. there are quite a few that sell the home audio. i dont know if i could ever sell any of their stuff or if i could it wouldnt be too much but it dosnt take too much to become a dealer for them too so i thought hell this would be nice to atleast be able to offer to someone who has a very very huge pocket book.

Do you have a mrket for their stuff? It is considered high end & the price reflects it.
How does it perform? Solid!!! Everything is built to last... All of it has that gorgeous retro look I like.
How does it sound??? Well I am not one of those that gets all sorts of warm, cold, fuzzy, wet or dry feelings from amps... heck!!! All those comment are just opinions from non controlled tests... so how anything sounds is only as good as the installer & tuning it receives...

When you pay for high end equipment you're mostly paying for build quality and the name. But hey, if you've got the money go for it.

McIntosh Labs is now owned by DMC. Parent company to Denon and Marantz.
They make terrific amplifiers for both home and car audio. Known mostly for their tube amplifiers in home audio, they make some great solid state amps for the car market, if you're willing to pay four figures for an amplifier.
They are some of my absolute favorites for aesthetics, as well.
