Mcintosh MQ112

Take a dull recording, if you will, and BOOST the 10 k band and describe the quality of the treble. If you don’t mind. 

When you’re up and running again, of course 

I was mildly interested in the MQ112 at its original $3000, but it looks like the new “suggested” but still price fixed price went to $3500 overnight. Not sure if this is due to parts tariffs, or Bose’s new pricing structure, but it’s off my wish list for now.

@tom899 Could you describe your set up a little bit? Is there any audible degradation of sound? I have a +300K stereo in a horrible living room with plaster walls, that causes very unlinear frequency responses. I`m thinking about getting the MQ112 to adjust somewhat for my walls. 

Sure, there's a defeat switch on the MQ112, so very easy to bypass the internal circuitry. I hear absolutely no degradation whether switched in or out with all eq settings at default 0 values. That is the main reason I went with the MQ112, putting my trust in McIntosh to not alter or degrade the sound.

To correct for room deficiencies, I use the Anthem AVM 90 included, ARC® Genesis. I also like to use Dirac Live on two of my other systems
