B&W 805N\Mac ma 6900 good match or mistake

Some excellent deals on second hand Mcintosh I see lately. Around $2800 for the MA6900 annd about $1600 on the MA6500.
I recently took my 805s around to various hi fi shops.
Listened to the MA6900, MA6500. I thought they both sounded excellent but the sound seemed veiled compared to the Accuphase or Sugden integrated.
Was impressed by the detail of the Accuphase E407 and the Accuphase E530 Class A.
The Accuphase had a livlier sound, more like a live performance.
The dealer would not budge on the price, not one penny, even after offering to buy 2 units!
I went with a Sugden Masterclass Integrated.
33 watts of Class A power seems to work out.
Sometimes I wish I had went with the Mcintosh or Accuphase to have tone controls and loudness for low volume listening.

should be a great match, I have B&Wcm2s and they smoke with Mac tube hear and a MC252 ss amp, the Mac sound is very lush and full with good dynamics and detail, it wont jump out at you but the more you listen the better it gets,alot of stuff will sound overly bright after you live with their gear,the 6500 is a sound value...just my thoughts.
