Mcintosh mc451 mono - anybody use this new dual amplifier?

When expected? Thanks

I miss spoke in the original post. The mc901 has 600 W 300 W combo. The 451 has 300 solid state And 150 watt tube sections.

hi,

How is your experience with the biamp 451 amplifier?  I'm using the 901 on the 802D3 and I find it really brings out the mid and tweeter which otherwise tends to be buried a bit.

I'm thinking about buying a pair of Sonos faber il cremonese.  the 801s you have are really nice.  They are very big and I'm sure are doing really well

Are you familiar with the 2 301? 901 Version of the 2301 has six small tubes per mono vs 2. They actually have solid state circuitry and the current 2301 model, where now on the 901 Version version it’s pure tube circuitry.

Very strange why they have so few small tubes in the original 2301.

So you think the MC 3500 is better without ‘biamping’? How do you feel about biamping with the MC 600   600 W amplifier for the bass and tube amp for the upper drivers

@lewl28 

That's the spirit. But why stop there when you can have the MC 2K monos.

I own a 611 pair and the need for dedicated outlet is not true. The actual power of these amps use is less than 100 W. A shared 15 amp circuit would work as long as it's not too crowded. Your hairdryer uses a lot more than this amplifier
