Here is my analogy:
I can taste the differences of wine that cost me $20 a bottle or $500 a bottle. But I cannot tell the difference of a bottle of wine between $500 to $600.
The MC252 and MC2102 are similar to those wine between $500 and $600, I cannot tell much difference. Moreover, I cannot tell the difference between bi-wiring or super expensive speaker wires to cheap wiring. Although I have perfect hearing, I just had my physical and I can hear the highest to lowest tone. My doctor was very impressed and I was told there aren't too many around. I think I am just not that artistic...? Therefore, I will not invest extra $ for wiring.
I want decent music and I don't want to be audiophile because I don't have extra money to burn. I can live with 803s for 10+ coming years.
With these attributes, should I just go for MC252 instead? The MC252 seems to be tuned very close to tube machines. I think MC2102 required a lot of maintenance right? For sure the light bulbs are really cool looking inside the tube machines.
Extra question: is 100 WPC from tube is greater than the 100 WPC from solid amp? I mean the actual power.
