McIntosh MC60 vs MC30


Do they both sound the same.Will the MC30s have enough power to drive my Cremona Auditors? I noticed inside the 60s there is a small transformer but not the 30s.Does anybody know why,Also there seems to be more of the 30s out there to choose from, is there a reason for that? Do the 30s put out as much bass as the 60s?

both sound very different. It is like comparing to MC275 to MC240. The MC60s has more power to drive the bass than th MC30. In our 5 diffent setups, the MC30s are not even as good as the MC240. Turn back in time, the speakers were much more efficient then so high power were not really needed in most setups. MC30s was popular because it was much cheaper and enough power for most of the application. Aside from that, the MC60s are one of the best Mono amps made by Mac from that era.
