“Don’t think the Mac has the build quality of the PL...". You must be joking right? Let me know how your PL is doing after 55 years before making such a statement. My 1966 Mc240 is still singing.
Mc 240 vs. Prima Luna
Good morning all, hope everyone is well and ready for the holidays.
I may need someone to talk me away from the ledge. (fairly normal state for me these days).
Story is this. I have been saving to add a second McIntosh 240 to my system. I have one now that does a fine job powering my Klipsch Heresy IV's. It was recently refurbished by Audio Classics in Vestal NY. (by the way, can't reccmomend them highly enough, especially Ryan).
Anyway, I'm getting close to being able to pony up for the second 240. Plan is to bridge them in mono and have 80 WPC effectivly.
However.... I have been reading much about the Prima Luna's. Modern.. Warm... ability to roll several tube types.. sweet mid, good low end..
Do I stick with my original plan, get the second 240, (built in the US, tank like construction, known sound and cool factor).
Or do I chase the neat new shiny Prima Luna's ?
Any thoughts are welcome..
Doug
