I owned the Krell 400xi and had it matched with Dynaudio Contour 3.0.With Piano and Jazz it was sublime
absolutely beautiful in tone and clear as a bell without being clinical. With other "bigger" music it just didn't rock the Dyno's. To be fair to the 400, the Dynos were just too power hungry for this amp. In the right application, I would gladly buy the 400 again. The beautiful high's and mids and the lean base was the exact opposite of what I expected from a Krell. BTW, I now own a Mac amp.
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
