IMO I have to agree with your thoughts about the 275 being too slow and not detailed enough for your speakers,that was my reasons for moving on with that amp when I owned one a few years ago.I think thats one of the down sides of McIntosh.I also dont think an additional 275 would solve your issues really.Although I havent heard the new MC452,its touted as being faster with better detail than what Mac has done in the past.Might be worth a listen
Amp for Focal Scala Utopia
Hi all,
I have just acquired some Focal Scala Utopia speakers. I am going to need new amps to drive them as my mcintosh c2300 and mc275 will not cut the mustard I think.
Anyway - I was considering being a bit radical and trading everything in for a devialet. Any suggestions would be welcome.
I prefer a sound with lots of resolution but retaining musicality. I would like a faster sound than the mac and more detail. I really like a deep soundstage too.
Thanks in advance. I have 2 sources - a vpi classic with all the bits and a Benz lps. Digital is akurate ds.
Thank you
