Anybody own or owned a McIntosh MC2250?

I am contemplating replacing my 90 watt Quicksilver monoblock tube amps with an old Mac MC 2250 (250 wpc) to drive a pair of Thiel CS 3.6 speakers. Ideally, I would go with something even higher powered, but I don't have the funds right now. The Quicksilvers are great amps, but I'm not sure they're an ideal match for the Thiels.

I'd be interested in feedback on the 2250 from those who own or have owned one. Thanks!

Bottom end with the QS amps is a bit loose and undefined. Top end is slightly rolled off, which would be a good thing for some Thiel owners, but not great for someone (me) who's been a drummer for forty years.

Levinson, Krell, and Rowland are going to be a LOT more $$ than the Mac.
