I used a mac 352 with my speakers (Magnepan 3.6) before switching to a 2102. Is the 2102 audibly better in my system? Yes. Is it _miles_ better? No. Does the 2102 run hotter? Much.
Have fun.

Anyone compare Mcintosh MC2102 to new Mcintosh SS?
I have a Mcintosh MC2102 amp and with no AC here in the Bay area this summer has been brutal with the tube amp running. It's caused me to consider a Mcintosh SS amp, but I'd like to solicit other's opinions on how the Mcintosh SS and tube amps compare, from the recent vintages. I love the MC 2102; can I also love an SS amp? I have the tubed C2200 preamp plus a tubed Audio Note DAC. My speakers are fairly efficient. Any thoughts? Thanks.
