Did I screw up??? C2700 vs c49


How much better is the c2700 over the c49? Will be running two mc611s. And is the tube preamplifier reliable? I can still return the C49 just bought brand new and never powered up yet. Running B&W 801N

Thanks Matt

I had a C2600 and there was no reliability or quality issues.  Pick the one you like best and I expect they will both last a long time.  

I've not heard them back to back - I have heard the C2700 and I do like its performance including its built in phono stage.

Thanks for your input,  I did pull the trigger and swapping out the C49 for the C2700!! Just the looks alone right!! 

Thanks Matt

I have the C2700 feeding my MC611s, a sublime combo. My only regret was not getting the C12000!
