The differences between the MC207 and the MC206 are much more significant that just the additional 100W. The MC207 really tests out much closer to 300W and has a much different design. (I just bought a MC207 and did a ton of research and before upgrading from my wonderful MC7205.)
McIntosh vs Classe Multichannel System
Anyone familiar with both systems? I currently own Mac stereo pre and power amps and like them a lot, but looking around to see if, at a similar price, if there's anything better for a multichannel system. Following are the systems in consideration:
Classe CA5200/power
Classe SSP300/pre-pro
Classe CDP300/universal
vs
McIntosh MC207/power
McIntosh MX135/pre-pro
McIntosh MVP861/universal
I heard a lot of great things about Classe but have no experience or access to try it out. If sound (mostly classical music)is more important than video, which system would you choose and why? Any other systems at similar price range or less that sounds better (warm, natural, transparent sound)?
