I have a pair of stock MC-60s and second the recomendation to not modify them. To work around the narrow barrier strips I found some copper connectors at Home Depot that I can screw into the existing barrier strips, I then used some (short) decent speaker cable to connect to the copper connectors and then connected the wire to 5-Way binding posts.....a very simple and inxpensive way to allow me to connect good bi-wire cables to my vintage tube amps. I am sure that to a purist this would degrade the sound but it was a good solution for me. The sounds from these amps is very dynamic, with bloom and a great sense of air. It is amazing and pleasing to me that 50 year old, unmoddified amplifiers can sound this good. Good luck
McIntosh MC-60 Binding Terminals
I own a set of McIntosh MC-60 monoblock amplifiers. They are original so employ the Barrier strip small speaker terminals. Can someone out there direct me to a source to purchase the spades necessary to connect a set of speakers? Additionally if an Mc-60 owner can identify a source to reliably update this amp with minimal modifications I.E. standard speaker binding terminals or detachable power cord socket? Any observations in terms of what I can anticipate for sound would be most welcome. Have never heard this amp but by all acounts, its supposed to be quite respectable.
