I did exactly what you did and love it. The current 275 amps are smooth at all sound levels. I am using xr5 speakers and looking for another set to stack them for the size of my room. System looks sharp, equipment is a good value play right now. Even if you don’t like it, it can be flipped quickly.
McIntosh Guy Going Tubes? (Maybe?)
Need some thoughts, comments, advice: present system (mainly McIntosh): Wilson Sabrina’s, MC601 monos, C52 pre, MEN220 room cor, MB50 streamer, MCD80 spinner, PSAudio P10 regenerator. My thoughts are to go analog/tubes via MC275 MKVI monos with C2600 pre(and undefined TT). Pros - Cons?
