Conrad Johnson vs. McIntosh Tube Gear


Does anyone have any experience comparing a McIntosh MC275 with their C2200 tube preamp versus a comparable tube Conrad Johnson amp/preamp? My speakers are ribbon hybrids (forward and clean; 96 dB efficient) and I am looking for a lush warm sound and unfortunately can't find a dealer within 500 miles that has either on the floor. Anyone have any thoughts or experience with these two brands? Any suggestions?

Thanks! for sharing Bill-

I concur, both CJ & ARC cannot be beat (no pun).
MAC gear takes more careful consideration prior to any purchase and should be auditioned.

Keep me posted & Happy Listening!
