| Oldest Mcintosh Pre with remote The 1991 c37 is vintage, maybe not the oldest, and is a step up in sound from their earlier models. I love mine, but I'm missing the HR37 remote, and they are hard to find, so if you buy a vintage Mac make sure it includes the remote. | |

| New Creek Destiny 2 versus Anthem 225 integrated Thanks Silentmobius for adding more info abut the 225's sonic characteristics, but then again it is a perfect match to Paradigm spkrs.
