Similar experience here when I auditioned a McIntosh tube integrated on B&W speakers. Had the sales rep swap the McIntosh out for a relatively inexpensive Musical Fidelity integrated and it was so much better.
Maybe McIntosh just don't sound great on B&W speakers.... or they just don't sound great period.
