| Why so much love for Mcintosh? bump, I went with A C49 and pair of Mc611's about a month ago to drive a pair of Kef Blades I bought 2-3 years ago. The previous amp had 525 watts into 4 ohms and over 2k into 1 ohm, so stable and powerful enough I thought. What impresses me so m... | |
| Krell vs Mcintosh I just bought the Mc611's for my Blades and love the way music comes alive at such low volumes. That said, who's to say the Krell XD wouldn't be as good a fit in a different system? | |
| Stereo or monoblocks I recently went to a pair of Mc611's with a c49 after trying many different stereo combinations. I wish I would have tried mac a long time ago. Speakers are Kef Blades. | |
| Used vs. new Buying used has saved me from losing money on speakers that didn't fit my room, or needed better power than I could afford at the time to make them sing. Now I have a very good sounding system half used half new that sounds and looks amazing, but ... | |
| Bose 901 VI flat? If you can hang them from the ceiling 2x2x2' in from the corners you'll get amazing room support for the bass. I loved mine with an sta 235b realistic receiver driving them. | |
| Older Revel vs Newer Magicos the studio 2 is a much better speaker than the studio 1 and probably still has a higher ceiling than the A3 goes, but room acoustics and component matching still matter more than trying to plug and play a new pair of speakers. | |
| Help building 2 channel system I upgraded my amp/pre to suit a pair of speakers, the salon 1 and when I upgraded to the salon 2 my amp/pre was wasted money as the new speakers requirements were so different. | |
| Musical Fidelity or Michi for B&W 702 They're both good choices, you have to listen to both. | |
| Ideas for Biamp with mc611 and mc275? Maybe trying a tube pre with the Mc611's? | |
| Low level listening I was going thru the same thing with my KEF Blades, They were uninvolving until I started pushing to 90db and above, but for me the magic happens at softer volumes. I swapped my Hegel H590(the Beast) for a pair of Mc611's and was amazed at how muc... | |
| More Bass I've had similar struggles to yours and adding subs never helped in a 2 channel system, at some volume the sub bass and mains quit playing together. I had a velodyne with a remote volume and phase button, one of several solutions I tried, but my s... | |
| The new Borresen M1's...a new direction? nah, I have to admit being impressed by the Raidho D1.2 before the covid lockdown and last year at axpona the bookshelf Borrensen, but after seeing a pair of raidho D5's resell for 10% of their list price at only 4 years old it's clear the target ... | |
| Ideas for Biamp with mc611 and mc275? Huh? Like 2 amps per side with the 611’s driving the bass and the 275’s driving the mid and treble? | |

| Whole reference system was stolen, need budget friendly integrated. Help Please! I like the Hegel integrateds, I have an older h360, but heard the h390 drive a pair of Dali epicon 8’s compared to a hifi rose that I don’t know what model, but the Hegel clearly handled the Dali nicely. The dealer had the MF6 i si,idk that he sai... |
