High power integrated suggestions please.

Hello,

I would like suggestions to look into. The reference is a McIntosh MA6900 which is the only one on my short list.

I've been racking my brain for other integrateds that have what the 6900 offers; sonics, convenience(loudness switch, equalizer), build quality, aesthetics, reliability and the customer support and service Mac is famous for. It also needs to retail for $5k or less.

I love the Mac sound, full bodied and dynamic to these ears. And I would want a cdp from the same company. If I go with the Mac it would be the MCD201.

Any thoughts? Thanks for your time and any suggestions.

Cheers

I've had the Krell 400xi in my system now for over 2 years, along with the SACD Standard (via balanced) powering a pair of B&W Nautilus 802s and the sound is simply amazing. It has performed flawless since the day I installed it. I purchased the system new and hooked it up back in May 2004 and haven't touched it since. I haven't heard an Amplifier over the past 2 years that I prefer to the 400xi. In this hobby, to say after 2 years that you are completely satisfied with your system and wouldn't change a thing is very rare and is saying alot.
My advice is simply to buy the Krell 400xi and you are done, out of the stores, classifieds and magazines and at Home listening to music...and enjoying life.
