Sounds like the McIntosh is not a good match for your speakers. Try a different speaker output impedance port, 4 ohm vs. 8 ohm, regardless of the speakers nominal impedance as that made a big difference in my system with different Mac amplifier. Also try different power/speaker cables and see if that helps. Dull or lifeless is not commonly associated with McIntosh gear, especially their amplifiers.
Has any heard the new McIntosh MA8900 integrated?
Hi everyone. I wondering if anyone has heard one of these and compared it to the MA7900. Seems like the same amp with the exception of minor cosmetic changes and the upgradable DAC. The 7900 is much cheaper, so I'm hoping there's not much difference. Would appreciate any observations out there.
Thanks!
