I have been in A/V retail for 30 years. I have had the pleasure of facility tours of 2 major high end electronic manufactures. The most important take away from both tours is that their products are designed to work and sound their best in a complete system. Mix and match at your own risk. In my experience, it leads to frustration and the endless cycle of upgrades.
Ampzilla 2000 v2 and Mcintosh MC402
I have the opportunity to either purchase an Ampzilla 2000 or MC402 from Mcintosh. I am choosing either one of these and would like your opinion on either one. Which one is better sound quality wise?
The rest of my system is : Mcintosh C1100 preamp, KEF reference 1 speakers, and Audioquest cables.
I like deep big bass, smooth mid range, big and deep sound stage and airy high.
