I am running a full McIntosh Tube Stereo system with Wilson W/P 8 speakers. My amps are a pair of monoblocked MC275 V. I think they are fantastic powerful tube amps with a sweet top end and lots of bass and dynamics. To me, the MC275 really is a special amp. Also, I had my first set of Gold Lion tubes in there for 13 years. They did not go out, I just changed them recently out of caution.

I agree with most of these. Only question mark is the MC275, of course an incredible amp, but is it that much of a great value? Not really hidden gem though.
