Tempted to buy a Macintosh


I am quite tempted to buy a Macintosh amp, and would like to learn more about it.

I have a Almarro 318B (18W) integrated and a Triode Lab 2A3 integrated.  For speakers, I have a set of Zu Omen Def I and Spatial Audio X5.  I haven’t heard a Masintosh in person.  I mainly like its retro look.  From reviews, I heard it has a very smooth sound, which may match with my listening preference.  I only listen to Jazz and Bossa Nova with low-medium volume.  And my questions are:

1) My speakers are efficient speakers and I listen in low volume.  So, I don’t need and want big power.  Is Macintosh a good match to my speakers?  I have no interest to change my speakers for now.

2) my budget is around $3000 for used equipment.  That is not a lot for a Mac.  So, it seems I would go for an integrated.  

3) I like tubes, but it seems Macintosh is more a SS brand.  And it seems there is no tube integrated.  The entry level MA252 is a hybrid with a tube preamp and SS amp.  I listen to some your tube video and it sounds great.  But of course, can’t draw any conclusion base on YouTube videos.  Is that a good choice to step into Macintosh world?  Or people would suggest to go different routes to get the full potential of Macintosh?  That is all SS, or separate tube pre amp (e.g. Coincident or Supratek) and power amp (MC275)?

I don't know anything about the Macs, just wanted to give you another option to look at in the same vein. 

The Vincent K35 doesn't have the meters but is still reminiscent to me. The reviews were good until they tried to reproduce bass for loud rock music. Which doesn't apply to you.

The other is the even nicer Rita 880s that maybe ticks all of your boxes. 
I actually did buy this one a couple months ago, but it is a heavy sucker (over 100 pounds) and got damaged in shipping so I never got to hear it.

yakbob, thank you for steering me to audioaficionado forum. I did finish reading a lot about the C2700 thread there. Everything you mentioned is what I am looking for. I am pretty sure I am going to buy it now. 

flavo, thank you also for pointing out other options. Too bad the Rita’s came damaged.
I recently swapped out a PS Audio BHK pre and BHK 300's for a C2700 and MC611's.  I was able to home audition the gear side by side.  The BHK stuff is quite good, but the MAC is a definite upgrade in my system.
More authoritative bass and mid-bass, More detail throughout the spectrum and harmonics to die for.  Sometimes the BHK 300's would seem strained and thin out when played loud.  No such issue with the 611's, effortless at volume with no fatigue.  To the OP, not exactly info you were looking for but wanted to share my McIntosh experience.  
daeone, I’m glad you mentioned it, I just demoed the C 2700 for one week and went back to the stereo store and ordered one. It sounded great even with my old amp hooked up to it. I am looking forward to trying out those 611’s someday.
