| Best Inexpensive Tuner? Sony ES550! I love mine for $125!! | |
| McIntosh vs. Krell Comparison I used to reside in the Krell camp too but not anymore. I finally realized that for hifi, the highs did not have to hurt my ears. I have listened to many brands since I left Krell and have come to the conclusion that McIntosh is best for me. I lis... | |
| Special Spectral?? I auditioned at length a spectral amp DMA150(150Wx2) and preamp DMC12 with MIT Oracle V4 cables (the salesman said that MIT was required...?) pushing Wilson Sophia speakers (cost almost $12k) this past weekend and I was less than impressed. I thou... | |
| McIntosh MC240 part needed Thanks for the reply but I have already talked to them and they said to replace it with a newer part all together. He would like to keep it looking original however. | |
| Decent CD Players I second the Meridians and also the Sony 9000es. I am impressed by the latter at its price point - Sony can come up with some great equipement. | |
| Has Anyone Compared the 2 McIntosh Integrateds? Hey! I have listened to both and I find that for the cost savings, the 6500 is the way to go. Both are incredibly sweet and the 6900 is a tad more so but I feel it is not worth $1500 more (do you need an equalizer?). Of course, if I could afford e... | |
| Solid Steel Racks? I own Boltz steel racks and they are awesome so I second them! | |
| MOST tubelike solid state amp I would check into McIntosh, Classe, or Rowland. Did you not like the Omega? I personally love the McIntoshes for a warmth like no other I have listened to (any of them but the older ones are even warmer IMO). I had the same question several years... | |
| McIntosh Loses Midrange... Help Hey - Glad to hear that the problem is clearing up! The MIT cables I have are all Terminator 2. The speaker cables are biwire. I am extremely happy with them. They beat the Kimber PBJs I had to pieces. | |
| B&W 804 Nautilus help I owned N804s for a while and found that the only amps/preamps that could tame down the HF shrill were McIntosh amps. They brought about an incredibly real warmness that I had never heard with my Krells. You can get a McIntosh setup within your bu... | |
| McIntosh Loses Midrange... Help I don't believe it is an amp problem. For the midrange to go, there must be changes in circuit bias which is dependant on only a few components. In other words, it is all or nothing as far as the amp is concerned. Do you have any other speakers to... | |
| Good Audio System for Living Room I would go with McIntosh SS or tube. There are many used models available on ebay since the company has been around for a long time, and for a range of prices. They made a slim-line setup that is compact. I own two of these SS pieces currently for... | |
| Good upgrade amp for my Thiel 3.6s I would go with Classe or McIntosh. I have listened to a Classe 400 on CS2.2s extensively and I loved it - very impressive. The owner of the 2.2s now uses a MC352 and I find it is at least as good as the Classe. I had a KSA-150 driving my Paradigm... | |
| McIntosh MC225 Get it! A good friend has a MC240 and it is awesome in every way - especially sound. The 225 was the same but lower power. I want a 240 but just because my speakers are not very efficient. Don't know much detailed info however except what is at th... | |
| Is the MR85 Mcintosh Tuner any good.? A guy I know has the MR7084 which the MR85 replaced and he says it is wonderful. It is his only McIntosh piece (he is an Accuphase man) and decided on it after trying all kinds of tuners for a couple years (although he liked a Magnum Dynalab too).... |
