Hello fellow McIntosh enthusiasts. I am a new convert to McIntosh and have noticed some changes to the design of recent McIntosh components. First there was the switch to fiber optic illumination which I think is a good idea. Now there is this new 3D style glass. However, it seems these improvements are only available on the very high end of the lineup. Does McIntosh plan to incorporate these features across the entire lineup in the future or will this simply be used to split the lineup in two? As far as the fiber optic backlighting is concerned, will they just wait until replacement models are introduced that offer this or will they make changes to current offerings (such as the MR85 tuner) while still in production? I wouldn't really want to wait for a replacement MR86 just to have this. Regarding the new 3D glass, do you think they will offer a tuner or preamp using it any time soon? Yeah, I'm big on having things match.
