Generally receivers sound good with simple music but falter with complex music which requires dynamic swings. From soundstaging, 3-dimensional realism to bass slam, refinement and dynamics, most receivers wouldn't hold a candle to audiophile-grade quality amps if partnering ancillaries and speakers are up to the task.
McIntosh vs. Marantz ...... sonics?
I have a few 22xx Marantz receivers (2226b and 2250b) which I really enjoy. They sound sweet.
I have heard so many good things about McIntosh that I am intruiged, and maybe interested in trying a Mac. I am thinking of an int-amp or receiver.
Would I really hear an improvement or is it mostly reputation?
I am considering trying it but Mac gear is so much pricier than what I have.
Thanks,
Rob
