| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer Why must people try to fell superior by trying to diminish the choices of others. I would ask the posters who feel sorry for certain gear owners, would you fell sorry for me because I enjoy driving my 1958 Bugeye Sprite with power nothing over my... | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer A MC2105 is between 45 and 55 years old. They were produced from 1967 to 1977. Comparing an unserviced old technology amp to anything not from that era is hard to do. I will say that a refreshed MC2105 has value n today’s market, not to mention... | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer I have a pair of MC501 monoblocs running my 3.6 Maggie’s. I bought them used 15 years ago for 6K. I could sell them tomorrow for 6K.

| Why I sold my Magnepan .7's I have owned 3.6 Maggies for 15 years and in that time they have lived in 4 different rooms in 3 homes. The keys I have found to unlocking their huge potential are threefold. The first is have enough power and a little extra. Mine opened up whe... | |
| Tube Preamps that work well with SS amps? It has always been my opinion that mating a tube preamp with a solid state amp of the same company typically provides the best synergy. I have experienced this with both Audio Research and McIntosh n the past. | |
| Solid state amp recommendations for Maggies? I have been driving a pair of 3.6 Maggie's with McIntosh MC501s for 15 years of magic. You need more quality watts with the current of one of the amps like Bryson, McIntosh, etc. Lots of good choices at your price point. one thing about us... | |
| Great song to test bass DSOM either Money or Time | |

| Biggest "bang for the buck" audio gear you have owned(in your history)? About 14 years ago +/- I bought a pair of McIntosh Mc501 mono block amps to drive my 3.6 Maggie’s. The make the Maggie’s sing as they have the power and current to feed them what they need. I bought them used, they are still in terrific conditio... | |
