mcintosh 275 ver4 vs 2102


Aside from the output differences, how different do they sound? Is the 275 closer to the amp section of 2275?

I am a very happy owner of 2275 considering getting two 275 as monoblocks.

I own 2xMC2102's and they sound wonderful. 1xMC2102 just sounded nice, however the sound was transformed with the 2nd unit. I use them in parallel and they have plenty of grunt and control, coupled with nice tube warmth.

One guy I know who has heard 275's and 2102's says that 1 x 275 sounds better that 1 x MC2102, however 2xmc2102's are a lot better than 2x 275's. go figure. sounds reasonable as monoblock tube amps with 16 output tubes v 8 output tubes should sound better as the 16 output tubes will be crusining most of the time.
