look at the manual, that amp, like many but not all McIntosh, is designed with a rear switch: Stereo or Mono. When Mono, check the specs, they usually allow only 8 ohm speakers, whereas 8 or 4 ohm is ok for Stereo use. So, avoid speakers with low dips if you think you might need more power some day, perhaps in a future larger space.
Want to start a great looking quality vintage setup
Hello, I’m looking to set up a secondary system for my office which would be purely vintage equipment. As this is not my main listening source I’m really just looking for something that would be attractive, but of course have good quality components but at a budget. I love the look of the silver face and the blue lights of the bygone eras. Macintosh, options of that sort of beyond my budget, but I’ve been reviewing some of the Pioneer spec options, but was wondering what else was out there that folks here would recommend. Essentially looking for a coordinated preamp, amp and phonograph. I can probably find a good set of vintage speakers locally to go with whatever my components are. I’m open to receiver combos as again, this is as much about the look of the components as it is about the audiophile quality, perhaps even more about the aesthetic.
