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,

I have a C38 and MC7300 which I have owned since new in 1992 and I listen to my setup (Dali Euphonia MS5s, Shanling CDT 100 with upgrade by Mitch Singerman, Velodyne subwoofer, Music Fidelity Tri Vista Dac and Monarchy Audio DIP, Shunyata Hydra, Nordost cables and interconnects) every day. I do think I'll upgrade the preamp as others have mentioned but its a sweet sounding system. I'll be keeping the 7300.
