Why is my Mcintosh MC-2155 slow?

Dear 'Goners,

I have a beautiful Mcintosh Mc2155 that I love. It's signature sound is silky smooth with a great presentation without tyrying my ears. However one thing that I cannot figure out is it's so damn slow. I have listened to other comparable amplifier of similar vintage (ARC, Sansui, Conrad Johnson, Marantz) and they all fail when it compares to sonics but speed wise they blow my MC-2155 out of the water.

Is there something wrong with my amplifier? How do I correct this?

Thanks
splittie

as far as tempo, an amplifier cannot be slow. that is a speed issue. a cd player or turntable may have speed errors. how can an amlifier affect speed ?

are you perhaps alluding to a frequency response phenomenon or a focus problem. if you are having a problem processing musical information, it may be noise, veiling , blurring or phase that you are alluding to.
