McIntosh Preamps


Which is the better McIntosh preamp to mate with a pair of MC30 power amps and Khorn speakers? I am considering the MC20 and MC11; the 22 is out of my price range. Or, should I look for something newer like the Audible Illusions 3a?

I don't know the MC30's but I've had MC225 and still have a MC240. I liked the C20 with the MC240, but I preferred a more modern preamp with the MC225. The phono stage was not so great in my C20. I did use an Audible Illusions Modulus 3A with the MC225 and it was extremely nice. If phono is important to you, I think you can do better than the C11 or C20. Later pre's are quieter too.

YMMV

hope this helps!
