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?

Get a pair of MC3500 Mk2s.  They have plenty of power and grip on the bass and it is more advanced than the 2301 tube component.  No need to bi-wire.  Just solid, simple power, grip, airiness and finesse.  Amazing amps.  

That would probably be great!   The 1.2Ks even better since the 3500s put out a lot more than 350 watts.  

Exactly.  There is no substitute for American horsepower!  That being said, I am selling my MC3500s.  Great amps, but I am downsizing and don’t have the room for separates anymore.
