| 4 or 8 ohm ? Try them both and see! The 4 ohm is generally the recommended one however for 6 ohm speakers. I like my Paradigm 100.2 6-ohm speakers on my McIntosh's 8 ohm tap. | |
| Mix and Match Krell and McIntosh? After a good bit of McIntosh experimenting, I have realized that to get the best sound, having Mc amp and Mc preamp together is nearly essential. I used my McIntosh C712 pre with a Krell KSA100 for a while and it was fine but a Mc7100 with the C71... | |
| McIntosh MC40 / Eico HF60 MC40 monos are not very common. The stereo version MC240 is much more readily available for the range Velo/John stated. MC30 monos on the other hand seem to appear fairly frequently for sale. I borrowed a Mc240 for a while and really liked it. It ... | |
| McIntosh MHT200 A friend of mine had a Classe setup (SSP25 I think and ca100s) and sold it for an MHT200 and he loves it. He says it was a great improvement in overall sound quality. I agree with him that his new setup sounds fantastic but I never really got to h... | |
| Preamp For McIntosh MC352 Yes, the 712 has balanced outputs. The C15 that replaced it does not however. I want to upgrade but I have been spending money on other toys lately. I am pretty satisfied with my little setup for the time being. | |
| Preamp For McIntosh MC352 Jalen- I had a C38 (among others) for a while which is basically a simplified C40 and found it to be very good but not quite as transparent as my C712. The C712 mates super well with my MC7100, not to mention they are in the same chassis which loo... | |
| C.J. Premier 11 vs McIntosh MC 252 With a McIntosh pre, I would definately get a McIntosh amp. Synergy is the key. | |
| Preamp For McIntosh MC352 I would stick with a Mc preamp - synergy is key!!! I have never been able to get better results with my McIntoshes than when pairing a Mc amp with a Mc preamp. I would go with the C2200 over the C42 if your room acoustics are decent (i.e., no need... | |
| Review: McIntosh MA-6400 Amplifier I agree. I have liked every McIntosh integrated amp I listened to including the MA6200, 6450, 6500, 6900. I own the separates that make up the 6400 (the MC7100 and C712) and although they are more powerful, the 6400 never felt like it lacked much ... | |
| Big Mcintosh MC1000 pwr amp s? My experience with McIntosh has led me to the same conclusion as Hassel. I just adore mine! | |
| Big Mcintosh MC1000 pwr amp s? If Fonsy66 likes the McIntosh sound, there is no reason for people to knock it here, beyond just mentioning it.I heard the MC1000s a few years ago and I found them to be similar to other Mc amps in sound. The dealer did say that depending on the s... | |
| McIntosh MX 130 as a 2 channe preamp tuner You may want to look for an MX118. It is exactly what you are looking for, without the overkill. They aren't as common as the MX130 however and so may be hard to find. | |
| McIntosh MC402 and MC501 I heard the MC402 powering Martin Logan electrostatics and the sound was increadibly clear and tuneful. The power guards never came on despite playing really loudly so I don't know why Dynaudios were a problem.Another thing about the McIntosh "cli... | |
| A good receiver with rear surround preamp out? The McIntosh receivers have pre-outs for all channels too. Arthur | |
| McIntosh Question I think Velo has a great idea. Check it out. Good luck - Arthur |
