I have been looking at integrated amps and when researching the Mac I noticed the only ones without auotformers are the lowest rated at 100w. I wonder why that would be the case are they not needed in the low watt amps? I assume they could use them just as easy in a 100w integrated as a 200w integrated. I belive they use the autoformer in all the new power amps even the lowest 150w mc152. I don't own one or know that much about it just curious why only the low watt amps don't have them ? Could it be they are meant to be used in smaller rooms with easier to drive speakers?
MAC Autoformers?
Someone is selling a MAC MA6500 Integrated claiming its superiority over the Ma6600 due to the fact that "it does not have the degrading autoformer design found in the MA6600". That is the first time I've heard a claim that the autoformer was a hindrance to better performance; I thought quite the opposite. What do you MAC Maves think?
