maybe it exists but a seperate thread to discuss tuning might be in order...

Pretty inexpensive experiment for those wanting to dip toe into Vintage ( but hyper well engineered speaker including hand tuning ) try a pair of Dynaco A-25 on solid metal stands....
SEAS drivers......
something like a million pair out there....

i have a pair in walnut

The point about restoring vintage is well taken.... needs to be up to snuff....
and frankly I appreciate and use the two tone controls on the MX-110
i think that is a virtue McIntosh mostly continues to this day....

now trying to to convince me that a tea saucer sized Bozak tweeter can reproduce the shimmer on Gold Dust Woman... well it would take a “ Connection” to make that happen.....

Grew up with Dad’s b-305 ( half a concert grand ) driven by MX-110 and MC240
I still have the MC gear
.... good for the day.....
maybe a full bottle of Cab in but my LiL Vandersteen 1ci a much more accurate and musical speaker.... I run Em with the Mac gear... ha
