Mcintosh mc451 mono - anybody use this new dual amplifier?


I like idea about biamping speakers with tubes going to mid/ tweeters and solid-state going to bass drivers. It requires you to adjust the gain and crossovers to each speaker which doesn't seem so bad.

Basically it's a Macintosh 600 watt mono and a  2301 300 W tube amp combined under one roof and brought together by an internal crossover/gain device.

Has anyone had any experience with this new amp?

I'm awaiting arrival of MC451.  I'll let you know my first impression.  I'm pairing them with the MC12000 and B&W 801D4s.  My source will be an Aurender A15.

@emergingsoul , I enjoyed the MC451s.  I had them paired with 801D4s.  Very musical.  Great for those who love acoustics. Synergy is very important.  Some say the 451s do a better job at providing a more natural sound than the 901s.  I haven't heard the the 901s.
