How good are McIntosh MC7300 and C40?


Hi, I have recently inherited my father's McIntosh system, which includes:

MC7300 power amp
C40 preamp
MCD7008 CD player
MR7083 tuner

I was just wondering how good these components were. I've been listening to this system with Xavian XN185 speakers and Revel M20 speakers for about a decade and i love the sound. Are these as good as the top of the line Krell, Linn, Mark Levinson, etc? Where do these components stand?

Thanks in advance,

The C40 is great. I've been using it with my MC352 and the C40 sounds much better than several other preamps that I also own. I'm now experimenting the C40 with a VTL amp and I can tell you they sound wonderful together too.
