I just wondering, why Grateful Dead used McIntosh amps?

 

And, I like your avatar, it is the best.

Grateful Dead aren't in the business of hifi sound during concert. Brute strength-yes. Hi end sound-no.

 

Brute strength? I am afraid you do not know what you speak about. They were pretty much well known for a best sound ever during performances.

I know quite well what I speak about. Thank you very much. Crapintosh is garbage. They'd have to charge 1/3 less to justify their egregious sound. IMO, their autoformer tech is not hifi. Midfi yes.

 

If you know it well, you would probably be aware Grateful Dead were never about a brute force...  You welcome.
