| Matching a amplifier to speakers I have found 2 amps I like,but both are older. They both have the input impedance I need to get the best results from my Mcintosh mx110,(at least I think so).100k First one is a Conrad Johnson 350sa -input impedance 100k the second is a Audio R... | |

| Vinyl Care mahler123 That sounds like a good option,as I probably only have about 20 albums that I will ever listen to that need deep cleaning. I will check out my record shops to see if maybe they offer this service. Thanks | |
| Matching a amplifier to speakers emergingsoul 1,246 posts 04-27-2025 at 11:37am Frankly very few people understand how to match amps and speakers. Most of the components these days get along pretty well. Just make sure you’re speaker sensitivity makes sense when you buy a... | |
| Matching a amplifier to speakers squared80 178 posts 04-27-2025 at 09:35am There is no such thing as ’matching’ amps and speakers. All you need to worry about is power handling, since all amps are literally going to sound the same (save for tube amps). They sound differ... | |
| Matching a amplifier to speakers "100boardwalk 17 posts 04-26-2025 at 07:05pm I know you’re thinking SS, but if you consider tubes, the MC 275 would likely play nicely with the MX110. My ancient McIntosh XRT 20’s have comparable sensitivity to your new Dynaudio 360 speakers, ... | |

| Matching a amplifier to speakers I’am starting to think I should maybe switch my pre-amp to a Conrad Johnson or another pre that has a lower output impedance. I wonder why the MX110 has such a high output impedance,as the C-22 is only 220 ohm’s? Is it a result of the FM tuner? ... | |

| Matching a amplifier to speakers I have been looking at the spec’s on many of amps recommended here,and few have a high enough input impedance to work well with my mx110. McIntosh states a 40k output on the mx110,and a minimum 100k input on the amp it is to be going into. The P... | |

| Matching a amplifier to speakers In my search for a high impedance amp,it seems most of the Conrad Johnson SS amps have a 100k ohm input spec. I found a old one for sale on the Audiogon site..It is a 350sa SS amp. It has the power I need and is in my budget.I have heard CJ tube... | |
| Matching a amplifier to speakers incorrigable ThanksI will look a the wired 4sound amps,they might be a good candidate,as they have like a 91k ohm input impedance. My Mac mx110 is recommended to be used with amps of at least 100k ohms,and there aren’t many solid state amps that... | |
| Vinyl Care richardbrand Thank you for the very detailed explanation. I will come back here and re-read it when get started with the process. |
