Nice stuff, I was playing with a C49 the other day.. I contacted McIntosh . Got a nice reply from Chuck Hinton of McIntosh . He told me they are working two shifts , 6 days a week !!! So be patient they are working hard to crank out those babies. Enjoy
McIntosh Preamps
I have a pair of Sonus Faber Grand Piano Home speakers (about 18 years old and in fine shape) and an old NAD RECEIVER (about 30 years old) that recently went kaput!
The NAD never allowed me to listen to the full potential of the Grand Pianos, so I want to power the speakers to their peak. Specs say they are rated up to 200 watts. I have a friend who has offered to sell me his McIntosh MC452 power amp (450 watts). It is way more than I need at the moment, but it might be good to build on into the future.
I cannot afford NEW McIntosh equipment, so if I purchase it, I have to find a suitably matched USED pre-amp. What preamp model from McIntosh would best match the 452.(assuming I could find a used one in good condition)?
