Since when has McIntosh audio been considered Hi-End?
That was a comment I heard from someone at a recent audio show. My reaction was one of curious amusement because I thought McIntosh invented or defined the Hi-End, at least going back to the mid-1960's.
Where does this snobbery or anti-McIntosh attitude stem from?

I just don't understand it, is it just some competitive spirit at play?
