Another MC402 Question

I owned one for a short while, and it is a very good amp. but it doesn't sound like tubes. It sounds like very good solid state to me.

I've owned an MC402 for close to two decades now, and it has performed flawlessly.  I purchased it new; final choice was between the MC402, which outclassed every other SS amp I tried (Classe, Bryston, Rotel, etc.) and a VTL.  Honestly, the VTL sounded better, but I did not want to deal with a tubed power amp, especially in a warm climate.  The MC402 has ample power, very impressive dynamics, stout bass, and never runs hot, or seems even slightly stressed.  I now use Sonus Faber Olympica III speakers, and the match is solid.  

I sold my Mc402, I could not find a system that it worked with. I think the transformer output just made all the loudspeakers I had sound flat. Replaced with a Parasound A21, much much better. 

I have had my 402 since 2008 and have been very happy with it. I am driving SF Olympica Nova III’s as well. I have used this amp with Audio Research LS26, REF 5se, Ayre KX5 twenty (very short time) and now LS28SE. I would like to step up to mono blocks, but not in the credit cards right now. I think you can’t go wrong with the MC402 and if you’re not satisfied, there seems to always be a buyer for them.
