I have the MC 2125 paired with the MX-117, and, yes, they look and sound as if they're made for each other. Previously used a C-26 till I found a good deal on the MX-117 and was quite happy with the pairing, but the MX-117 just looks so much cooler than the C-26 and now I can pick up these things called "radio stations" that I vaguely remember (and worked at in my youth) and the college stations play jazz and classical music commercial free. Keep looking for the MC 2125; IMO very underrated Mc Amp. Just had mine serviced and a new glass faceplate installed and they both just look superb together and really perform flawlessly
