@drghosh Did you buy the MC275 ? I am thinking of the amp but I am confused between McIntosh Labs MC275 VI vs ZOTL 40 REFERENCE from Linear Tube Audio.
McIntosh MC 275 Mark VI
I own a McIntosh C-2300 Preamplifier, which is an all tube design and Harbeth SHL5 speakers
1. Has anyone paired this with a Mcintosh MC 275 Mark V or VI amplifier, and what are your impressions?
2. Suggestions or other stereo tube power amplifiers to pair with the McIntosh C-2300. Looking for some actual experience that someone may have had. Prima Luna, ZOTL, Rogue, VTL, BAT?

@audiofile10, I never purchased the MC275, although I might at some point, need to demo it first. I sold both the C2300 and MC-152, not a big fan of Mac preamps. I have also owned the C220 before. I think the MC-152 is a good amplifier, maybe under-rated compared to its bigger bros. I have not heard the ZOTL 40, can't help you there, check your speakers sensitivity and look a bit in youtube and elsewhere if someone is using ZOTL40/and your speaker and what impressions they have. |
First post! On any forum, anywhere! MC275 Mk6 vs MC152 I'm in the process of auditioning a MC275 mk6 against my MC152. Preamp is a C2600. I googled the heck out of this hoping for some helpful info but i just couldn't find it...so i bought both. Not at the same time. Using both Rega P6 with Hana SL, and Tidal through bluesound node 2i as sources. Speakers are ML Electrostatics with passive 8 inch driver. I purchased the MC275 mk6 wanting an all tube core to my system, instead of the hybrid. I bought the MC152 about 7 months ago and have really enjoyed it. I'm really on the fence after about a week of listening. |
@tallens what was your final call on this ? |
