Funny I have a 2275 and am curious about the SLI80. I just got the 2275 2 months ago and switched from AES Six pacs and AE3 MKII. Seems the AES may have been better with jazz and vocals and the MAC for rock and bass heavy music. I think the SLI 80 would be the best of both worlds. Stunning looks, integrated simplicity and that great triode sound.
I would say the 2275 sounds a bit duller than the AES gear I had. I wish I could swap in an SLI 80 to see though because at times the 2275 gives me goosebumps with late night listening and its 100% NON fatiguing. Not as bright and much fuller sounding than my six pacs but not as much "air" or soundstage.
Built like a freaking tank though. I do not think the MAC is worth retail but at the used prices it is.
If you give the 2275 a try let me know how it goes.
