Debating between Mcintosh SS or tube monos.


I have heard Mcintosh solid state 611 (600 watts) but I have not heard tube monos 2301 (300 watts). Will be using with different speakers overtime.

How much of a difference will I really hear between ss and tubes? Will it be obvious on a really revealing system? Any problem buying a used tube mono that is 4 to 6 years old?

I like the idea of tubes being less harsh and less fatiguing.

Anybody directly compare these two?

For me the MC2301’s are some of the best sounding McIntosh amps ever built. I had MC601’s and thought the MC2301’s were far superior. Then I ended up going a different direction or would have likely ended up with 2301’s!
