McIntosh vs. Thor


Considering the Thor TPA-60, 60 watt monoblocks and am wondering about the McIntosh Mc275 or 2000 anniversary amp. The Mc275 is 75 watts per and can get it in a monoblock set up. The 2000 is an anniversary issue and 130 watts per. I know both have more power but am wondering more about the warmth of the sound. I have a C-J Premier 16 preamp and Legacy focus 20/20 speakers which are supposed to be 96 db sensitivity. Any thoughts along this line would be appreciated. Just very used to C-J's sound and the neutrality is taking a bit of getting used to.

Can't comment on the Mac's but love my Thor 60's. ( Will likely never sell them! ) A great match with my Merlin VSM-MM's. Have seen a couple of pair for sale on the web lately here on A'gon plus the pimp has a pair cheap as well. Do your homework to be sure what you are buying and whether or not they have been upgraded to MK II status etc. Thor Audio is very helpful and accessable via telephone. Oh, and they look great lit up in the dark.... Good luck.
