I bought all my gear about a year ago and my Dad has had a chance to listen to it 3x now. Now he's talking about getting back into the hifi game (after being out for 25+ years). He has a huge record collection (growing CD collection) and he really used to be into music and hifi, but he got away from it for awhile.
Anyway, he's thinking about starting to look. All he talks about is McIntosh. He remembers the name from when he was young and he really wants to head that route (w/o listening to any gear yet). A few questions for you guys:
I know McIntosh has a great history, but what are your thoughts on the company now? Still great? (Clearly I don't know)
He's strictly looking for a two-channel setup. He'd probably have a heck of a lot more cash than I did (my stuff is Rotel), so what other brands I should mention to him? I've name dropped Classe, but that's it. I'd say his music tastes are mostly jazz, r&b and oldies rock. Any thoughts w/ that little bit of info?
