Mcintosh Ma 7200 Vs Ma 8900 Dilemma


Hello forum friends, how are you?
I am in the market seeing these two integrated options to drive my Bowers 805 D3
I am in doubt between the Ma 7200 or Ma 8900
My main sources are: Vinyl, Cds and Tidal
I also thought of the Ma 5300 but it doesn't have autoformers.
I appreciate your opinions

I debated both of these and just ordered the 8900 today.  I’ll be streaming my music, so can use this for radio.  The controls will be nice.
I have separates and I defeat my tone controls - I prefer simplicity.  

If tone controls are worthwhile I'd go with the 8900 and the 5300 is not something I'd be pining for in my main system.  Perhaps wonderful in the den, bedroom or workshop.
