Conrad Johnson CA200 vs. Mcintosh MA6900


Speakers are Proac 3.8. I'm going to a solid state integrated from tube monos to simplify my life. What else do you recommend for under $3500 used? I prefer to stay with a major brand for long term support and resale value.
Music taste is Miles, to Allman Bros. to Van Morrison to Hendrix.

Hi guys found this post just in time i am looking to change my integrated amp and these units are the two i was looking at first of all i love Conrad Johnson products tubes or solid state i like both my preference is for tubes BUT 82db speakers make me go the solide state route i'm not a rich man or else it would be tubes now the Mcintosh i know it's not for everybody but i love the sound and looks and the important word here is I the match with my Electrocompaniet EMC-1up cd player would be nicer with the Mcintosh i have a big decision to make my Conrad dealer has a Chord CPM-2600 brand new at 50% off because of the new model that just came out he bought 10 units and got a good deal so his customers are also getting a good deal i'm very very interested but keep in mind the Chord is brand new and the other two are used units and a $ 1,000.00 more and finaly what i presently own is pretty darn good Bow Wazoo XL but with my Acoustat's 1+1s i could use the extra power what would you do if you were me ??????????????????????????????
This is a message for people that worry about leaving their amplifier on i have a friend that has a Conrad Johnson MF-2500 since 2000 and it has never been shut down in nine years i guess you should not worry too much about it i am sure if you phone Conrad Johnson they will tell you the same thing leave it on 24/24 no problem.
