Nicholas,
Congrats on your purchases! I've lusted after McIntosh equipment for decades. This year I moved my music audio system down from our 13x24 living room, to our 24x26 "man cave", as I became smitten with a pair of larger, floor standing speakers. I found a C50/MC452 combination for sale on Audiogon and drove a few hundred miles one Saturday to retrieve the pair from the seller. When I am really cranking it, the needles on the MC452 dance around 4.5 watts. I really like the smooth, musical sound of the McIntosh equipment, I have found slight amounts of fatigue listening to other brands.
Enjoy your purchases!
