Ok, so I'm not a past or current owner of the 2102 but... about a year ago was demoing an ayre c5xe cd player paired with the 2300 preamp the 2102 and some b&w 802ds. It was very musical and suprisingly dynamic. Very nice amp, it sounds much bigger than 100 watts. All new equipment with stock tubes. From what I heard it was a real winner. Ed
McIntosh MC2102 owners past and present
I've got the itch to make a move and am interested to hear from past and present MC2102 owners on the following:
- How many years or months did you keep the amp?
- What speakers did you use it with... anyone try Harbeth?
- Did tube rolling pay benefits and which tubes made the biggest impact?
- How does the MC2102 compare to other comparably priced / powered tube amps?
- Did anyone try running their source directly into the amp and how did it work out for you (I have a cdp with volume control).
- Would you recommend this amp?
Thanks,
Paul
