Tube monoblock options?


Anyone have a good suggestion for tube monoblocks? I've been holding out for a used pair of MC75-III's, but hard to come by. The system is comprised of Oppo-205, Mcintosh C52 and McIntosh MC275-6.  I don't want to get another 275, since my dealer told me that "just because you can bridge the 275, doesn't mean you should".  Anyone have a comparable option to the mc75? Entire system is balanced, so would like to stay away from SE.

would agree with atmasphere, how much power do you need and what are you driving?
if you need big power with Balanced inputs Series 2 or 3 of the VTL MB-450 should do the trick.

Like I said above a 275 or 75 will do very nice for the Kanta’s mids and tops, but they won’t drive this kind of bass loading very well between 60hz to 150hz
As with the combined impedance and -phase angle it will look very nasty, down to 2ohms to those tube amps.
And if those tube amps were bridged, it would look far worse (deadly) to them.

If your not capable get some one who is, shouldn’t cost much, to spit the xover and add another set of terminals to each speaker for the double bass units, pretty easy job, and bi-amp with a Class-D on the bass.

And, though he has responded to this thread, Ralph is too classy to boost his products.
So, if I can speak for him, I would recommend Atma-Sphere amplifiers in a heartbeat.

Really!!!

If your referring to OTL's into those loads 🤦‍♂️ The bass will sound like a stick of salami wack’ed against a lounge your suit, and it’ll be all mid/highs dominated.

But if your referring to his up coming yet to be released Class-D, it has a far better chance of driving them.
