tleigh, you were far from harsh. Consider the tone of the man to whom you responded.
I went to a high-end store recently. My totally unreliable, personally biased perceptions. Integra and Rotel amps sounded identical; B&W CD4MHT (or some slew of alphanumerical crap) DO NOT sound like M60s - the B&W tweeter was sibilant as heck and the midrange was terrible, just awful; the McIntosh equipment wasn't in the same room as everything else so that you can't do any direct comparisons.
Wish I had more time - I'm going swimming. Enjoy wasting your money xopher.
