I owned both at one time (for about 2 years). I kept the 275 version 2...the reason...more grunt. On paper the 2102 should be the more powerful, but the mc275 was always a bit more articulate in the bass. I have no explanation for this, but the mc275 handled the bass on all my loudspeakers similar to the larger mc602. the mids and highs were pretty much the same as the 2102. Still have the mc275....after a decade, its still one the finest all round push/pull amps i've had the pleasure owning.
mcintosh 275 ver4 vs 2102
Aside from the output differences, how different do they sound? Is the 275 closer to the amp section of 2275?
I am a very happy owner of 2275 considering getting two 275 as monoblocks.
