If you are thinking of a Mac 275 or a SS Mac amp, get a SS amp with autoformers, not the 7200 without. Consider a 7150, 150, 202, etc.
Which Amp to Choose McIntosh MC7200 or MC275-V?
Getting back into the hobby again after several years without a decent listening room. We are finally settled in a great home with a dedicated TV/Audio room. I have a mostly McIntosh system with MC2002 Amp, MC712 Preamp, MR73 Tuner and Music Hall MMF-25 CD Player. All of which are played back through a JM Lab Focal Electra 927 Be Speakers (which sound superb and are a huge upgrade from my former older Thiel Speakers).
I'm going to upgrade both my preamp to a MC-41 and my CD player to a MVP-861 this month to develop a balanced input/output system. I have never tried a tube amp before, but someone local suggested my speakers might be a good match with a tube set up. Would appreciate some feedback - especially from McIntosh owners with systems similar to the one I am considering building..
