Anyone Demo the McIntosh MX122?

While I'm seriously interested in the 2 channel performance, - It will primarily see a relentless pounding from my surround sound. I'm anxious to hear how it handles my 11hz subs at speed and how it does with the new multi-channel formats.

I demoed the MX121 while I was in the process of getting my power amp, thinking I could kill 2 birds with one stone.  The multichannel processor was superb and I found the user interface fairly intuitive, but I didn't care for how it handled 2 channel.  To me, it seemed very "left and right," with little stereo soundstage.

Because 2 channel was my primary focus, I went with the superb C2300 (thence to a C50) and use an older MAC-3 5.1 unit via the pass through when I need multichannel.  It's a compromise that has worked well for my needs.

So, it depends on how you're going to use it.  If you are primarily going for multichannel, it's a solid contender.  Built like a tank, flexible and fully featured.

Good luck & happy listening!
