McIntosh C35 opinions?

Thank you, Sid, for your informative response! Haven't noticed any volume control noise, but since I am new to this hobby/obsession, I may be ignorant as to exactly what you mean. Volume did get stuck a few weeks ago, and tried some Deoxyspray stuff, but had to have it fixed and serviced anyway. Works fine now.
You now have me seriously considering trying to track down an MC7200. After some research, I thought the MC2155 would suit my needs, and I picked up a nice one at a fair price which sounded great with the seller's setup. With my setup it seems to be somewhat disappointing. A Carver TFM35 actually seemed to sound a bit better. Don't know if it's slightly underpowered, I should have it serviced, or I should just go for an MC7200 and be done with it.

Thanks again! Yes, the digital control does "click" a bit when manually adjusting, but don't hear anything when I use remote, which I mostly do. It doesn't bother me, other than I would prefer a knob to buttons. Seems more precise, a more satisfying tactile experience, and more appealing aesthetically to me.
You nailed it on the amp. A little "tighter sound, and clearer highs." Considering you like the Macs too, and your wealth of experience and knowledge, I believe I'm sold on the 7200, even without an audition. Now to track one down...perhaps you should unload that old thing-joking.
Along with your help, I'm narrowing things down and attaining a more clear and precise end in mind. OK, thinking replacing old Infinities with B&W's, but that's a whole other thing. (: Thanks again.
