McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer

I am running a McIntosh c53 preamp, mc452 amp NAD c658 streamer McIntosh mct500 sacd and KEF Blade speakers. The sound is absolutely amazing. The wet blanket analogy is just not right. This system is very musical and very non fatiguing. I have listened to these speakers on arcam amps and didn’t care for it. All I know is that when I put on whatever I’m in the mood for and turn it up, it makes me smile. Happy listening!😎🎶

No it doesn’t need a dedicated line, but I did rewire my entire house and the 20 amp line that it is on really does not have much else on it. 😎🎶
