Old post, but I should add, save some money for room treatment. Same length and width room equals room treatment.
mc452 c2600 mcintosh
Need a pair of speakers to complement my future upgrade to mcintosh mc452 and c2600 mcd550
price range around 8-12k, prefer new, but open to exceptional used
Mostly classical music, symphony and classical, i like high volume levels
Room size 18x18 sf
Aesthetics important, prefer piano black
I have a REL S5 sub as well
currently own Vienna acoustics mozart grand with ma6600 and mcd550, love the warm mc sound
also have a choice of getting used pair of mc601 for about $9000, how much of an improvement would it be over 452? I know it depends on speakers, but in general, is this a big jump in quality?
