| Matching a amplifier to speakers I know you’re thinking SS, but if you consider tubes, the MC 275 would likely play nicely with the MX110. My ancient McIntosh XRT 20’s have comparable sensitivity to your new Dynaudio 360 speakers, and my 275 drives them admirably.I purchased my v... | |
| AV rack - Quadraspire Evo Check these guys out. I’ve got a pro series and like it very much. https://www.standsandmounts.com/VTITallAVRack-BL404GC-13.aspx | |
| Favorite Song Lyrics of All Time. What Say You? "Little old lady got mutilated late last night" Werewolves of London WZ 1978 | |
| Picking a power amp Unfortunately I have not heard a 7270 in many years, so I'm not able to give you a meaningful review. I believe it is very well regarded, and at a conservatively rated 270 watts/ch, will easily drive most speakers in your price range. I'm confiden... | |
| Picking a power amp I've been enjoying my MC2205 since 1987. You can't go wrong if you can find one in good condition. Check Audio Classics in Vestal, NY. They are awesome! | |
| There is no substitute for cubic inch or in this case surface area Just curious, what were the speakers with the two 12in. drivers? | |
| McIntosh MC240 vs MC 275 Funny you should ask now. I just switched from the 240 to the newest version of the 275. For this comparison I’m using the Sonus faber Cremona M’s with a Sonus Cremona Subwoofer M along with a McIntosh C53 pre. As jond suggests, I generally favor ... | |
| Which manufacturer has the best user manuals? I suppose irrelevant at this point, but the user manual for the Oppo BDP-105 is outstanding. | |
| Your last concert was to see who and when? Lee Ritenour next week. | |
| David Johansen has passed away It was the early eighties and I was the bartender when David and friends came in after a show. From what I recall he was having a great time as he and the gang partied the night away. I seem to remember that they drank a good deal of champagne th... | |
| How often do you upgrade turntable ? Same TT since 1987. Bang and Olufson Beogram 8002, now with a Soundsmith smmc1 cartridge. Still sounds good to me! | |
| Does anyone listen to the radio anymore? The Urban Jazz Experience, with Ed German on WLIW Southampton, NY. M-TH, 8-11pm. Excellent program, great DJ. Sounds good on my MR78. | |
| What are the best speakers you have ever owned and why? I have listened to many, many speaker systems over the years- in show rooms, at audio shows, and in the homes of other audio enthusiasts. I can honestly say that my old McIntosh XRT 20’s hold up very well. I know that Mac speakers receive a good d... | |
| McIntosh MC2105 paired with a C53 pre? I've paired my 2205 with a C53 and have been very pleased with the results. Both the mm phono stage and dac sound good to me. I switch the 2205 out for a MC275 MKVI and play them through a restored pair XRT 20's or Sonus faber Cremona M's. On occa... | |
| McIntosh MC240 vs MC 275 Ah, so many choices, and all good ones. Thanks. |
