McIntosg 7270 VS Meridian 557 vs D-125 AR

Hi All,

I have an option to trade with a guy that own Mcintosh 7270 or Audio research D125 with my AMP- Meridian 557 .

Speakers : Sonus Faber extrema .
PRE: Still checking for one ...(probably will be tube)
I can't say I'm not happy with the Meridian 557 but I'd like ur opinion if it something that can work fine.
The Extrema knows as hungry - and as I understand the Mcintosh can drive anything.
about the Audio Research - as understand it's hybrid and known with issues (is it right?)...

I'm not femiliar with the Mcintosh sound and I don't know if it supposed to be a good match.
to test it in my place it's a bit hard due the heavy weight of the amp.bring the extrema there...ohh...no way...
thanks u all
avico

Another 7270 owner here.

It's common to see SF owners using Mac for power, I would say they have good synergy together. As mentioned above, the 7270 is a workhorse, I've driven some large multi driver speakers, planars, and also a pair of speakers rated at 2 ohms, it's never flinched.
