High power integrated suggestions please.

Hello,

I would like suggestions to look into. The reference is a McIntosh MA6900 which is the only one on my short list.

I've been racking my brain for other integrateds that have what the 6900 offers; sonics, convenience(loudness switch, equalizer), build quality, aesthetics, reliability and the customer support and service Mac is famous for. It also needs to retail for $5k or less.

I love the Mac sound, full bodied and dynamic to these ears. And I would want a cdp from the same company. If I go with the Mac it would be the MCD201.

Any thoughts? Thanks for your time and any suggestions.

Cheers

C'mon, you can bash Krell harder than that. We've read much worse. Go for it.

213 well perhaps if I heard the very system you have listened to Krell in I might agree with you. As many know I am a proponent of the system and not the component that makes the sound. All I know is that my Krell set up is every bit enjoyable as my small cj all tube setup, although very different, but very musical.

I would be interested to know the context that your experiences are based on.
