As with all things involved with audio it may be simple or could be something further down the chain. I had a few amps from the mid to late 90's, Mc 300 and Mc 500 in that era were warmer sounding than current crop. If your 7205 is bright something is off. I used the 4 ohm tap with best results with any speaker/ amp combo, try that if not already on 4 ohm tap. Another cause could be when you switched out could the speaker wires became loose or became inverted at the neg/pos terminals?
System very bright after adding Mcintosh amp
So, I recently added a Mcintosh MC7205 amp I purchased off of audiogon to my system. Im using a Marantz Sr8002 as the pre/pro and have b&w speakers (683 fronts, htm61 center, and 686 rears)
Anyway, I've noticed that recently the whole system is abrasively bright. It sounds like whatever I am playing is a poor-quality mp3 and hits those high-end pitches that almost seem to pierce your ears.
I've re-run audessy since adding the amp but didn't notice and improvement.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks!!
