is mcintosh audio worth the money?

McIntosh is worth it, at least buying used. They sound great, are reliable and conservatively engineered, and parts and service support great even on 40-50 year old gear.

Re: Is "MPC Live" worth it? If the standalone part of it is drawing you in I'd say it is worth it. You can do everything on a computer, but for me the standalone puts it ahead. I get sidetracked super quickly so it's just easier if I stay off the computer and have a dedicated box just for making beats.

In a word - no. But there are many external speakers that you can connect to your MAc, and they're not that expensive. The iMac sound is adequate for listening to the radio, and casual music listening, but if you are serious about your music, get good speakers.

Rotel gear is very good in its price category. Well engineered, solidly built and with very good sound quality, that will tend to be more robust (in a positive way) than delicate and nuanced, but never shrill or edgy. Power supplies are typically quite robust. Theo's comments are right on target, imo.

Without a doubt it is worth it. If you do not want to spend lots of time scrolling through your midi groove library for the right parts then that's worth the price of admission there… That was what sold me 2 plus years ago…. But since then I've been able to use it's more advanced features to the MAXIMUM…

TEAC are very good with technical support, you can buy the service manuals and order any parts you might need down the road, top marks for their professional service. Yup, these were good stuff - decent hifi quality, just presented in a more compact, but otherwise surprisingly solid outfit.

The same cable may still sound different if you think it's $100 rather than $10. Honestly, if you want to improve sound quality on IEMs, go buy a bunch of eartips and experiment with them. They'll give you many more cheaper and reusable options than an expensive cable would. ... Cables makes no sound quality difference.

It's amazing how different the audio sounds compared to the built-in speakers. ... Yes, there are cheaper sound bars available, but you get what you pay for. The ability to connect via Bluetooth, multiple inputs, wireless sub-woofer and enhanced sound quality as compared to flat screen speakers is well worth the price.

Those Carver amps never had a very pleasing sound to me for use as serious listening amps. I have owned many and used a full compliment of Carver stuff for a 7.2 Home Theatre setup for years and they worked great for that - until they got older that is.

The value of FiiO M11 is pretty much one of the best I've seen in today's market, with the price being really good for what you're getting, which is a very potent DAP with good wifi, bluetooth, battery life, sonic quality, and CPU/RAM/GPU and Display.

The experience that I have with Pioneer has been good. They are not the premier brand, but they are certainly not bargain basement either. For the products I have owned, they have proven to be reliable, durable, produce quality sound, and at a decent price point.

In short, these speakers are not a good value. They will sound louder and better than many speakers that grace many Canadian livingroom's. But those speakers are a few hundred dollers, not thousands like a full set of Nuance.

Simply put, Bose home theater systems might seem like a lot of money, but they're definitely worth it. Along with the quality, you also pay for the assurance that your product will be protected, and the accessibility they're famed for is a massive advantage to many potential users.

MTX makes great amplifiers, on par with Kickeer. Their subs and components are middle of the road down to entry level, but fair for the low cost. Nothing that drops my jaw, but they work, and they hold up. For the money though I do know better subs.

If you're referring to cheap as in affordable and priced lower than what you expect, then I can proudly say those cheap AirPods on Wish are totally worth it! It's “cheap” and you get your value for money, but it's not “cheap” quality. ... My favorite is the 1:1 Airpods, it feels and sounds like the real thing.

Without a doubt, they are worth it. I bought two from the Kent eBay site and I use it everyday. It's high quality that you should never have to replace.

MC312 Amplifier named Best Stereo Power Amplifier of 2019 Todd Cooperider writes "McIntosh simply exudes class, quality, and that "it" factor that's very hard to achieve." He adds the "MC312 2-channel solid-state amplifier has enough power, finesse, and flexibility to serve as the heart of any hi-fi system.
