The price you mention for the C50 is about what the C48 is going for now. I had a C48 and liked it a lot, but had to sell it for financial reasons. So if you like it, I'd go for it. It should match up well with the 402.
How about the Mcintosh C50 preamp
Saw a C50 preamp for $3500 in excellent condition.
Not sure if this is a good deal, also want to hear Mcintosh fan's opinion on this preamp.
Currently I have a Audio Research L15 tube preamp in the system, but I am going to add a Mcintosh MC402 power amp to replace my MC2105, thought this C50 pre is a good company to the MC402 by nature..
thanks.
