Would you buy a McIntosh headphones amp?

McIntosh is my favorite brand so I've been wanting a headphones amp from them for some time now. I hope this poll will give McIntosh an idea on how much interest there is or the lack of.

If they make a headphones amp with McIntosh blue meters, tubes and solid state version. Priced under $1500? I know it may be wishful thinking. :) Your thoughts?

What type of headphones? Electrostatic, use a 2505, 752, 7100 off the speaker out. Line level, C-30 series pre amps, or C-40 with auxiliary amps built in will drive anything. If you are talking Stax, then I recommend you use their specific designed amps. So. I really don't see the need, but that's me. I mean if I bought a pair of the latest Sennheiser or AKG and they wouldn't interface with what I have (C-34, or my headphone amp MC2505) I might look else where. I guess, if I wanted something with lower distortion, I'd look for a Crown D40 or a warm sound MC225.
 
I think the current line of McIntosh preamps has a decent amp, but I like a high-end standalone amp from my favorite brand. :)
