611s


Ive picked up a set ok Focal Kanta no 3s . I cant wait to get this system jammin..   Rookie Question... as I am new to the high end Audio stuff.  The  mac 611 is rated at 600 watts. Is it better to have the amperage, instead of, under delivering with a say 300 watt amp? Kanta are rated up to 400 watts  any help is appreciated!  Thanks Guys!!!!

The McIntosh MC 611s will drive anything. I have a pair driving the challenging load that a KEF Ref1 Meta presents.

Also, the Focals can be a little bright sounding, and the Macs will warm them up a bit and make them sing. If you like bass/mid-bass, you can not do finer than Macs. However, if you enjoy an analytical presentation, you will need to look elsewhere. 

Lastly, I have always applied the tenets of what "gear heads" have discovered. There is no replacement for displacement! I owned a very good SET amp and now own some "big boys." I'm never going back.
