mcintosh c39

The 39 is not fully balanced.

Also, IIRC, the first production 39/130 had xlr outs but later ones replace those with a 6 rca outs to be used with their MAC-3 decoder. It was in that transitioning time between Pro Logic and 5.1.

I'm looking at one of these that must be the earlier unit as I only see the 2 balanced xlr outputs and the DIN style connector. That would mean that I could used balanced out for stereo but I would be limited to using a 5 or six channel amp that has the same DIN connector. (ex. MC7106)

Does anyone know of any other possible amp choices for HT set-up?

Would the earlier xlr out version be preferred for 2 channel only?
