If I was you I’d take a hard look at the new Spatial Audio Raven or Aric Audio Motherload preamps given what you’re looking for, and they cost less than half the price of the C12000. I think both offer a trial period, and I’d bet big $$$ you wouldn’t send either back and will be only too happy to sell your C2500 once you hear what you’ve been missing. Best of luck.
Keep McIntosh C2500 pre-amp or upgrade to C12000?
I am looking to upgrade the sound of my system. My audio guy has told me to consider selling my C2500 and upgrading to the C12000. I’d like to hear an enhanced sound stage. Several folks have told me to start with the pre-amp. Of course this comes down to the VALUE of selling a classic and buying the new kid. I am interested in hearing your input. Thanks in advance.
