Of course, you will get varied opinions on this, but for my money, Mac's best amp ever produced is the MC7200! No autoformers here, direct-coupled, with great sound! Rated at 200 wpc @ 8 hms/300 wpc @ 4 ohms. Many of Mac's amps have had "muddy" bass, but not this one. I know your dilemna, wanting to stay with surround sound. I've used my 7200 with my Yamaha DSP-A1 processor, and very happy with the results. I also have a 7200 in my audio room, and it's great there, too. One thing about it, you can always sell a Mac amp and get your money back if you're not happy with it! Try that with some of the others!
Best Mcintosh solid-state amp 200-300 watts?
Curious about what everyones opinions are about these amps. I have been thinking about getting one to try it out in my system. I really want to go to a two channel setup but am afraid to lose my surround-sound for movies. Let me know what you guys think!
