McIntosh c2700 users please chime in?
@sanctus555where I live, dealers won’t budge.  There isn’t a Magnolia dealer in my area that carries McIntosh.  It’s all home theater receivers and multichannel. I personally would not buy such an expensive piece at Best Buy. They couldn’t get a 2...

Why did you sell the MC250?  If you are spending just the 900, you can’t get the Parasound A21+.  That is a new amp that sells for $3000.00.  What was it about the MC250 you did not like?  What is the rest of your system?

There is nothing mid-fi about Canare 4S11 cables.
