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.

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 there, I know this is an old post but It would be nice if  jth1911  told us about his experience with de  MC451.  There are very few opinions from users on the web.

thanks.

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.

@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.
