Ok, this is what I have Dynaudio Confidence C1 speakers, Manley Snappers (pair, Manley Jumbo Shrimp Preamp, VPI Scout with Benz Micro Ace S (low output), PS Audio GHPC, and Cambridge Audio 840C CD player. I briefly heard the mac at a local dealer and now not sure if I should go that way and PS - I do like the Manleys!
I've also read that dynaudios love current but the manleys drive them very well at low volumes. I guess after reading how the dynaudios can handle high current in the reviews is what stirred my curiosity about the Mac. I have the dynaudios due to a good price on demos at a local audio shop and have always wanted tubes as I started to build a good stereo system which is why I got the manleys.

I wanted to get some input as far as that mac goes after I had visited the dealer in town where I briefly listened to the mc252 and had read the dynaudio reviews.

Thanks

Thanks
Thank you fot taking the time to reply which I do appreciate, especially since you have experience with the dynaudios, tubes and the mcintosh. I plan to try to arrange an audition a Mcintosh amp at home sometime this summer and I suspect I will find, as you say, that the mac will drive my dynaudios better.

Thanks!
