How can you pass-up the Genesis M60 Monoblocks if they are priced right?? Take them with you to audition speakers. If the dealer won't let you connect them to his demo speakers then eliminate that brand & model from the list. Dealers know the limitations of their products and won't willingly let you discover what those limitations are.
Seeking advice on tube amps
So, I have decided that I would like to step on over to tube amps. So far I have 2 different amps in mind
1. Genesis m60 monoblocks
I have heard great things about these amps from personal friends, to a great review in 6moons, although I have not heard them in my system.
2. McIntosh MC275 v4 or v5
I have heard this amp at a mc dealer but not in my own system.
My speakers are currently paradigm studio 60 v3 91db 8ohm.
They are the next thing to be upgraded after the amps.
So of those 2 choices, does anyone have any input of the 2?, or more amps to add to the list the fall into the same price point / performance level?
I have also entertained the idea of looking into SET amps with high efficiency speakers, but I don't want horns or some really funky looking speaker. I know some exist out there, I have just been finding it hard to find the information on it.
