Bryston or McIntosh which would you buy?


I currently have a McIntosh MC752 amp, and am considering an upgrade in the future. I know the 752 is not one of McIntosh's best amps. I love mac gear as I always wanted to own their equipment.

1) How much of an improvement will I see going from the 752 to say a 7270 or similar?

2) How would it compare to something like a Bryston 4B?

Please note that there is a good chance I will upgrade my speakers...looking strongly at Thiel. Current preamp tube based Aronov.

Thanks.

I would upgrade within the Mac line (Autoformer coupled) because I prefer the sound to Bryston, which is also good. In your case, I would stay with Mac especially since you are using Thiel speakers, which can tend to be bright, which Mac isn't and Bryston can be.
