| Upgrading/changing Speakers with late 70's McIntosh System? Thank you- both (super tweeter and Tektons) good thoughts I had not considered. | |
| dCS Bartok Apex vs McIntosh DA2 - Trouble Hearing the Difference Similar to the experience of fishagedone, when in for service I auditioned a dcs bartok with my heritage Mac system (2125 amp, C28 preamp, XR5 Mac speakers) it was very nice and detailed. However, I later purchased a Bluesound Node X and after th... | |
| Intermittent Left Channel Outage-- Older McIntosh System--Love my system appreciate Help! Thank you all again-- hoping to test the system by bypassing the speaker control relay early next week. I will post the results. One thing to add is that when the left channel goes out, the left channel blue/green meter on the amp shows no signa... | |
| Intermittent Left Channel Outage-- Older McIntosh System--Love my system appreciate Help! Thank you. Great suggestions. Regarding the speaker control relay and connecting the speaker wires directly to the amp--- should I unplug the speaker control relay connection cable from the pre amp at the same time, when I directly connect the s... | |
| trying to add a subwoofer to a Mac system from before subs were a thing…. This is not a direct answer to your question, but I'd offer what I have done with a vintage Mac system and a newly added REL S/510 subwoofer. The results have transformed my system with a new dimension of depth, and no hind of artificial or boomy... | |
| Subwoofer for music only ? As someone has recommended a Kef Kc62, I'd add that I have recently added a Kef Kc62 to a small room (10 x 10ft), complementing Kef Ls50W speakers (on isoacoustic stands). I'm extremely pleased with them and use them mainly for 2 channel listenin... | |
| Old and New-- adding Rel s510 or 812 Sub to heritage (older) McIntosh system-- Worth it? Thank you yogiboy and bigtwin-- I agree with you both in the sense that I will only buy a Rel unit that I can listen to and then return if unsatisfied. Your comments are very helpful in that regard. I certainly don't want to "mess up" a good thi... | |
| Best set-up under $20K I agree with upgrading the streaming end of things. One thing to put out there--I recently purchased a Bluesound Node X and have been extremely happy with it in my heritage McIntosh system (2125 amp, C28 pre amp, Mc XR 5 speakers). It is a more ... | |
| Moving on a sailboat - bookshelf speakers? Sounds fun- I’m a sailor as well (Beneteau 411). I have been extremely happy with the original Kef LS50W in a small room (10 x 11) with Isoacoustics Aparta stands (stands take performance up an entire level). Not sure if in your smaller space ho... | |
| patricia barber - diana krall - holly cole Echoing a couple responses earlier, a recent visit to a Diana Krall concert recently proved to be highly disappointing. It was beyond "dialed in." More like "checked out" or some other issue. I would highly suggest anyone contemplating going to... | |
| In home speaker demo- Wilson Sabrina with older McIntosh equipment-- how long to decide? Thank you @ghdprentice for your helpful word of advice. I think you are spot on. The enjoyment of music is not about analysis. Letting go or "not caring" is a great way to put it. The fact is that, perhaps like yourself, the speakers wouldn't e... | |
| McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer I can only speak from my own experience. I have enjoyed a Mc2125 amp, C28 pre amp, (MR77 tuner which I'm not currently using), for more than 40 years. I personally love the sound which I find to be warm but accurate for my tastes. I have never ... |
