Speakers For McIntosh?

Have just upgraded from Maggie 1.6QRs to Quad ESL 988s with a pair of Mac MC-225s with an MX-110. Bi-amped the Maggies with the 2 225s which worked quite well. Will strap them for 50wpc for use with the Quads.

Also run a set of B&W CDM CNT (center channel speakers) in the office system with another MX-110 and an HK Citation II. Excellent bloom and detail in a smaller package. Not nearly the mid-range air as the Quads or the Maggies, though.

Cheers,

David

I am using an MC352
Thinking of thiels (CS3.6, CS6, or CS7.2)
or Sonus Faber (Cremona or Amati Homage)
Is the Mac too much power for the Sonus faber speakers?

After driving Apogee Duetta Signatures for 15 yrs w/ my MC7200 and C35, I am now faced with the question of where do I go from here? My Apogees are finally buzzing (bad Ribbons). This Combo has put me into Nirvana many times. However, my new quest will more likely be SoundLabs Ultimate 1's W/ The McIntosh MC602 and C200.

Harbeth Compact 7s, Spendor monitors, anything built to BBC specs, really (old Rogers speakers in good condition are tough but worthwile to find), are a match made in audio heaven.

Depends on your listening tastes and what amp you own but McIntosh 1201's and Thiel CS6's are quite impressive. Great dynamics, bass punch and velvet top end. The Thiel crossover's are well suited to McIntosh power, in my personal opinion.
