Have a C2700 feeding a pair of MC611s. I no longer have any urge or intention to upgrade. The bass/midbass competes with anything out there. The midrange is beautiful. The highs are a little lacking, but I fixed that by adding a pair of Nordost Valhalla 2 XLRs from my DAC to the preamp. Now, this system is complete from top to bottom.
Why so much love for Mcintosh?
Sick of the haters here ragging on Mcintosh equipment. I thought it was time to turn the tables and show some love for a company that most others only wish they had their success.
I’ve owned a few Macintosh amps in the past and own one of their latest now: MC611.
Starting with a pr of MC501 monos that I thought were nothing special I’ve heard sonic improvement through MC402,452 and currently MC611. All the improvements have been in the area of Fidelity and resolution. Something I felt the MC501 monos lack. I’ve owned countless amplifiers from almost every manufacturer of high End audio. Why do I love Mcintosh MC611 mono so much? They make listening to music a pleasure not a chore.
They give me everything I want and nothing more!
