I am a proud owner of a Mac MA6600. It is the best integrated I have had in my secondary system. This integrated bested a Classe CAP150 integrated, a Rogue Cronus Magnum tube integrated and a Parasound Halo integrated. None of them compare. The MA6600 is 200wpc with 2 db headroom and has many inputs and outputs PLUS bass and treble controls. I purchased mine at Audio Classics in September 2017 for $3400.00. It was so clean I thought it was brand new and I have never had any issues with it. I play this amp every day at least 6 hours.
Mcintosh MA6600
Looking for some advice here. I want to upgrade my Integrated and eventually speakers, but one step at a time.
Current setup: Metrum Ambre (Streamer) > Metrum Onyx (DAC) > Rotel RA 1572 with Rotel 990BX > B&W 683S2
I've been thinking about Mcintosh for a long time and want to take the plunge with an Integrated.
I need to be able to use XLR from DAC to Integrated. Will hook up turntable as well.
I will either get new 700 series B&W or used Diamond (bookshelf)
The MA6600 seems to be a good choice, but wanted to see what everyone else thinks. Mostly looking at used prices
Budget $3-4k
Thanks!
