| McIntosh .. One step back I second the C712 idea if you are short on cash. I've had one for the last 3 years and love its simplicity and silky sound. For the amp, it's hard to beat a MC352. Good luck! Arthur | |
| Classe or McIntosh I am familiar with the MC240 and it is very beautiful sounding. At the time I had Paradigm ref 100.2 and it worked great as long as you didn't overdo the volume. I want to get one in the future. Michaela is right on the mark - expect to get a big ... | |
| Used Plinius, Simaudio, or Mcintosh integrated??? The McIntosh bible is at: http://www.roger-russell.com/aboutmc.htmScroll down and click on the "integrated-amps" heading and you will find all the models listed and described. Don't let the power ratings fool you - McIntosh rates power very conser... | |
| Used Plinius, Simaudio, or Mcintosh integrated??? I really wanted to try the 8200 to see what the fuss was all about and when I did, I wasn't very impressed. It seemed everything was glossed over somehow. Poor description I guess but I agree with 84audio. I was comparing it to my McIntosh C712 an... | |
| McIntosh or BAT amps what is your preference The latest Stereophile magazine reviewed the McIntosh C200 preamp and said it tied the VK-51SE overall, but is less expensive as a bonus. I think the Mc preamps are very good and to be fair, Cylinderking shouldn't compare a design that is several ... | |
| Mcintosh 1700 It is probably worth fixing if it is in good cosmetic condition. Audioclassics will do a 1st class job but the bill may reflect that too.... Good luck! | |
| Mcintosh 1700 If there are two sets of outputs, you will be fine. Otherwise, you will halve the impedance which will be a tough load regardless. Arthur | |
| Mcintosh 1700 Those things have eight tubes in them that should be tested at least. Buying a new set may be easier and will give you more of a guarantee that you are getting the most out of it, since it is more than 30 years old now. I heard a restored Mac1500 ... | |
| Mcintosh MC-2205, Bryston 4B-ST, or Marsh a400 Hard to say what YOU will like best but the McIntosh 2205 is 25 years older than the others you listed. That may not be a problem per se but devices have advanced since the 70s. I preferred my MC7200 over my buddy's 4B (he did too) but the 7200 is... | |
| Anyone compared McIntosh C42 with C46? Thanks Lloyd. I think I will look for a C42. | |
| Any McIntosh C46 users?? According to McIntosh, the C46 is very different than the C42. I didn't get specific details but they got the message across that they aren't the same despite similar front faces. Arthur | |
| Will sun exposure damage my speakers? That is what I thought. I usually put the grills back on on sunny days. I guess I will continue to do so! Thanks againArthur | |
| McIntosh MC- 501 vs Pass X-600 vs Parasound JC-1 The new McIntosh 402 is simply sublime. I assume the 501 is too. I can't wait to get one. I didn't like the Pass Labs X350 as much as the 402 - it was a tad lean for my tastes and didn't have any more detail than the Mc. Good luck! Arthur | |
| Any McIntosh C46 users?? I definately agree the C46 will sound much better than the C712. I auditioned a C46 with a Mc402 and was overwhelmed with a desire to buy them. The sound was as refined as I have ever heard it. I have a MC7200 running balanced and like it very muc... | |
| What speakers to replace Paradigm 100.2? Help I bought JM Lab 926s. They are already broken-in and sound simply sublime. Smoothness and refinement make vocals easier to understand than before and the soundstage is more in focus with greater depth. Very nice speakers - I am impressed! The impr... |
