| Is it better to get dedicated monoblocks instead of bridging stereo paired amps? Wow, thank you all for this valuable information and saving me from making a expensive mistake. It seems if I want that Moon Audio North collection sound, I will have to settle on a 861 stereo amp. They have the 888 monoblock but it is to expens... | |
| Has McIntosh Ever Decreased Prices (on new equipment)? Yeah I tried to work out a deal this weekend. But the dealer would only go down 10% on a 32 grand price. I was hoping for more. But I'm kind of glad now because I'm looking at used equipment and it's just such a better deal. | |
| Would a stereo Sim Audio Moon 861 amp be as powerful as 2 McIntosh 611 monoblock amps? I was asking in this thread because I own a Yamaha AS 3200. I played at 70% volume to get about 70 DB. After 70% it starts losing its sound quality really bad and sounds thin. I want to make sure my next smp has plenty of headroom | |
| Do most people prefer tight bass or non tight bass? So I understand this correctly, the tight bass is the more accurate bass? | |
| Would a stereo Sim Audio Moon 861 amp be as powerful as 2 McIntosh 611 monoblock amps? @overthemoon I was at the audio store and I heard the moon 761 with a Macintosh C12,000 preamp. It sounded really good. I didn't get a chance to hear it paired with the moon preamp. Would it be crazy to pair the 861 amp with the Macintosh c12000 ... | |
| Would a stereo Sim Audio Moon 861 amp be as powerful as 2 McIntosh 611 monoblock amps? @overthemoon oh wow thank you for sharing. Can you please tell me what preamp you are using with the moon 860 amp? | |
| Has anyone switched from Class AB/A to Class D? Was it better? Was it worse? @tomcarr ya, I was eyeing the Class D PS audio monoblocks. But it really stinks for me to buy them without hearing them. Even with the 30 day return period. Were able to hear them first before buying them? | |
| Does the Gryphon Antileon EVO stereo amplifier go for sale on the used market? I was thinking though... used they go for 25k. That is pretty large gamble since you don't know really who you are buying from and what condition it really is in. | |
| Talk me out of buying Monoblocks and into a stereo amp instead @jeffreyw I was going to ask in a private message but I don’t see a way to send a private message on this site. Doing research on McIntosh, I came across this post by you https://forum.audiogon.com/posts/2558077 I was going to ask... it was onl... | |
| Talk me out of buying Monoblocks and into a stereo amp instead @jeffreyw I was going to ask, please.... 1) For the system you are upgrading to that will have more fine detail. Doesn’t that mean bad recordings will sound worse on your new system versus the McIntosh (w c-12000) which helps with bad recordings ... | |
| Talk me out of buying Monoblocks and into a stereo amp instead @jeffreyw In your transition to the new Solution system, have you sold your monoblocks yet? I was curious how difficult or easy it is for you to sell them? | |
| Talk me out of buying Monoblocks and into a stereo amp instead @jeffreyw how do you feel about a c 12000 preamp sound compared to the system you are switching to? | |
| Talk me out of buying Monoblocks and into a stereo amp instead @jeffreyw Interesting story, thank you. If I may ask, please, why do you wish you purchased the MC 462 over the 611s in hindsight? | |
| Is it easier to sell mono blocks or stereo amp on the used market? @pickindoug sorry to hear about your back trouble. Wow, so monoblocks sound that good? I actually never heard them yet so that saids alot. | |
| Is it easier to sell mono blocks or stereo amp on the used market? @coltrane1 did you have to use freight shipping? |
