Worth upgrading from MC611 to MC901?


I have the 600 W mcintosh mono blocks (mc611) and I'm considering upgrading to the MC901 dual mono amplifier (600 w ss, 300 watt tube) as a way to Biamp b&w 802D3.

Is this worthwhile or is there a better alternative?

Do you know what the running use watt specs are? This would be very helpful to determine what the BTU generation is.

I have a watt use Device used to measure watts from an outlet. The 611 rarely gets above 65, and when just left on with no volume, it’s zero. The tubes probably have ongoing watt use and that would be interesting.

you have an interesting looking system. I didn’t see the 901. I see the mac amp and rack to the right. Is that amp rack on coasters. ? Would love to know the name , it's really nice.
