Quicksilver Mid-Monos are hard to beat for sound and price.
Classic McIntosh tube amp or new other brand
In my quest to purchase a tube amp I am faced with the following dilemma, within the given price range, is it preferable to purchase a classic McIntosh amp, such as MC-30 monoblocks or MC-240 or by another brand in new or near new condition?
As an alternative I am considering Quicksiler Mid-Monos, Cary Rocket 88, Leben CS300 to name a few...
Currently, I am driving Monitor Audio RS-6s, with a 35W Marantz PM5003. I am happy with the power.
Preference is based on the following;
Sound Quality, resale value, life expectancy as well as cost of replacing tubes over the life of the unit.
Your input would be greatly appreciated
