Mcintosh MQ112


Hi all - 

I have a pair of B&W 802d's (first version). Now I know everyone thinks that they are crap and as bright as the sun.

Before tossing them aside, what do you feel about adding a Mcintosh MQ112 equalizer after my preamplifier?

thanks in advance....

I usually use the 10k band to slightly cut, as some older songs are a little bright in that area, it tames them perfectly. I’m not able to use my system right now, I sold my Anthem AVM 70 and have a AVM 90 on order, maybe a week out. The MQ112 sounds very natural to me. You can easily compare with the left knob to defeat the eq in and out. It’s expensive, but I have confidence in it, and I think it will last for many years.

Take a dull recording, if you will, and BOOST the 10 k band and describe the quality of the treble. If you don’t mind.
