Before this year, I would have argued about an amp being first. That was before my intro to Lexicon. I picked up a MC-8 V2. The Rotel went into deep storage. I’ve never heard a sweeter, more beautiful sounding preamp. And the L7 modes are jaw dropping. I’ve always been a purest two channel guy but with my all JBL surround system (L100t, L1 with twin Harmon 740 subs), it’s absolutely beautiful.
