Focal Kanta 2
This isn't comparable so take for what its worth.  Have had klipsch my whole life and switched to the Kanta 2 for my L/R/C.  Could't be happier, the sound stage is phenomenal.  FYI, Focal takes 53%, the distributor 47%, so lots of wiggle room!

Classe CDP-202 vs McIntosh MCD550 and Esoteric K-07x
Esoteric has many problems with the disc reader. There are other forums about the esoteric issues. I don't own any esoteric, went with the oppo! 
Looking for Mac tube amp for my Focal Kanta 2 speakers. Suggestions please!
I have the kanta 2's. I Use the mc452 for 2.2, and the mc275 for 2.0 with the kanta's at full range.  The 275 does sound different than the mc452.  Is my first tube amp, so can't discern between other tube amps.

McIntosh mc275
I'm driving the Focal Kanta 2's. 
Highest BUILD quality tube amps?
Received new MC275 yesterday. Units On/Off switch doesn't work. Amp only shuts off when you unplug it.  And no, I don't have any triggers attached to it.  Most disconcerting considering I waited three weeks for it.  I've read Mcintosh has lowered ... 
Discontinuing Mcintosh Mc75's
Per Audio Classics, the MC75 was discontinued last year and are no longer available!  
Stereo Amp
The STR bridges the power supply.  I went with the Mc452 to drive my Kanta 2's.  Never get above 45 amps, which leaves plenty for headroom! 
Speaker suggestions
Check out the Focal Kanta's.  FYI, retailer takes 47%, so haggle! 
Have you ever wondered why speaker manufactures do not consign speakers to dealers?
I had the same experience with Klipsch. They wanted me to travel 3 hours to demo a pair of speakers.  Ended up with the Focal Kanta 2's.  Klipschs' loss.  Focal has a markup of 47%, the retailers take, as I assume most others do as well.  Why they...
