I’ve had great luck buying used mcintosh on Audiogon and usaudio. Check out my system page. The stuff sounds great, built like tank and holds its value with the best of them
Newb - Ideas For Quality vs Quantity For 2 Ch Amp/Pre or Integrated (and speakers)
I'm getting out of HT and going 2 channel. I have always just purchased my electronics and speakers for bang-for-buck at local shops. 2 channel is very new to me, and auditioning at local shops is not providing a lot of variety or options.
After selling my current setup, it's put me in a good financial position for new gear <$15k.
I'd like to put my money towards quality sound vs quantity - I don't need more than 100w, my ears have had enough at 55 yo. My room is 15 x 20. Only source is streaming. I play music all day (class A tubes out?)
I really like physical appearance of gear, and have ruled (at this time) simple face plates. Mc, Luxman, Yamaha, Accuphase are all beautiful faces, but can't audition them all.
Any suggestions of amps/pre's and integrated with speakers I can consider...I'm overwhelmed because this 2 ch is all new to me.
