Hello. I bought Mc275 V month ago to use with my B&W 805D. One minute after turn the system on for the first time (with C-220 pre amp) it was love at first sight! Just incredible sound! After that i tried two mcintosh powers, mc 302 and mc452. This second its way better than mc302 but when i return to mc275 it became very clear. The mc275 tube sounds much better with my system... Although is the less powerful, the sound os voices, are stunning! All orchestra sounds way better.. (Shunyata phyton alpha power cord, van den hul inspiration speakers cable)
Best tube amp with B&W 805D?
Looking for some insight and recommendations on tube amp to match with the B&W 805D. Will likely keep my ARC LS17 as preamp for now. I am looking into McIntosh MC275 or Primaluna Dialogue Seven monoblocks. Though would prefer to stay under $4k if possible. Currently running a Bryston 4B SST2, and it is an awesome amp with my previous Maggie 1.7's but is a little too forward and seems to be overkill with the 88db 805d's. My desire is to add depth to the soundstage and move the imaging back just a bit. Any experience or insight would will be much appreciated.
