McIntosh
Oranfoster - congrats on the wise purchase of the Accuphase E-470.  You will absolutely love it!  I have had mine for about 6 months now and I can safely say that it will probably be my last integrated! 
Matching a McIntosh 275 amp +C50 Pre-Amp +B&W 804D3's w/ spkr cable Transparent?
Ever tried Tellurium Q?  They would be a great match for your gear.  
best integrated amp.
If you could find a used Accuphase E-470, it would be "game over".  They don't come up very often but well worth the wait and could be acquired for around $7,000 or so.  Luxman L-590AX is a great Class A amp but I am not sure what the Maggies need... 
Mcintosh MA7000 vs MC402/C46 combo?
I think it would be a lateral move at best.  
best integrated amp.
If the $5 to $7k is for new, then take a look at Luxman. Lots of features, built in phono and headphone stages. If you don’t mind used, there is a huge array of possibilities. The used market is very depressed right now and if you are patient, you... 
Audience Au24se vs Au24sx cables
John McDonald ( President of Audience) is a true gentleman and very honest businessman.  He produces a great product at an excellent price point.  It looks like my local dealer will be taking on the line so I am looking forward to trying out other... 
TUBE AMP LOVERS - What SS amp makes you smile???
I am really enjoying the Accuphase E-470.   
What's happened to Taters ?
Along those same lines, what happened to Melbguy1? 
Accuphase Integrated Amp - E600 or E470
Just a quick update.  I received the E-470 today.  Right out of the box, it sounds as good as the Luxman L-590AX. The Accuphase has slightly more authority on bass and it seems to feed the B&W 803s as much as they need. The difference has been... 
Bower and Wilkins and its relationship with Classe and Rotel
To the OP, I was not impressed with Classe and B&W. Just because they are owned by the same company does not guarantee perfection.  I have found Luxman to be extremely compatible with B&W and there is a very large contingent of McIntosh ow... 
Bower and Wilkins and its relationship with Classe and Rotel
Lalitkno kidding. My dumb a-- brother in law showed up last month and tried to yank the tweeter housing off my new 803s! 
Audience Au24se vs Au24sx cables
Jafant - currently, all my interconnects are Tellrium Q Black Diamond. Power cords are Tellurium Q Black. I don't have any intention on changing those in the near term.  
Audience Au24se vs Au24sx cables
Audiobrian - no doubt you will since you already have the previous model and are happy with them. These are excellent speaker cables. I tried them on my back up rig (PrimaLuna DiaLougue Premium with Audio Physic speakers) and the sound was awesome... 
Audience Au24se vs Au24sx cables
Hi Jafant,Apart from Nordost and Audience, no other brands tried other than Tellurium Q Black Diamond.  Again, they did not play well with my speakers.  I have purchased the Transparent Reference cables! 
Accuphase Integrated Amp - E600 or E470
jafant - I am using a Luxman D-06u SACD player.
