Any experiences with the Mcintosh MC901 monos?

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone had any experiences with these gorgeous amplifiers? Prefarably from owners, but also if you heard them at a show, at dealer,…

If possible also share with what speakers they are paired, and in what configuration they work best for you (with the crossover, overlapping, crossover bypassed etc)

I saw them once at a dealer and was absolutely in love with the design, but unfortunately they were not hooked up yet, so I did not have a chance to hear them…

Well you would need two extra powercords and an extra interconnect all of good quality and something to match the gain… also no crossover so all amps get the full signal to amplify…

Hello Raysmtb1, no offence taken, your idea seems very good!

It seems the 901 is based indeed on the 601 for the transistor part, but on the 2301 for the tube part, so that would make the costs about similar I think?

It seems few people have heard these amps, let alone own them…

I would have liked some comparisons, in the sense of people having heard the same setup with the mc901 and some other high end amps, stating whats better or worse etc…
