I second tkalali thoughts regarding which speaker you use it with. I own Klipsh LaScalas circa 1978. With most every other I own ,several including tube amps and integrated SS and tube they are dry and squwacky (a new but accurate descriptor) , but with an old 50 watt SSmac, they sound pretty good. It is just a symbiotic or synergistic phenomena. I too think the sound is vague and rounded in a general way.
Mcintosh Question- Looking for feedback
I was recently exposed to Mcintosh. I've owned Krell/Pass/Plinius/Parasound......I did get to hear the Mac amp I'm referring to.....but I didn't really get a chance to fully process the sonic signature. I just didn't have enough time. It did sound really good but it was in a top flight setup...and that was to be expected.
My question is: I really like the Mac MA 7900. Its the 200 watt Integrated amp. How would you describe the sound from Mac solid state amps? What would you compare it too?
I'll be honest the sound was great....but the" visual eye candy effect" was stunning...absolutely the most visually pleasing gear I've seen personally.
.
I'm currently using the Parasound Halo Integrated. The Mac Ma 7900 would replace this. How much of an upgrade would this be ?
Any and all insight would be appreciated. Also can someone give me the shortened version on why Mac has different speaker connections for different ohm speakers? I accustomed to wattage doubling in 4 ohms...any and all hel would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
