Speakers For McIntosh MC352

You mention the speakers that have been listed in a number of threads. I'll throw another name in the ring: Tannoy. I have a pair of D-700's with a MAC 2102/C2200 amp/pre combo and couldn't be happier. There is great synergy between MAC and Tannoy. It'll be worth the effort to follow up. Good Luck,

Mike.

With a McIntosh C-40 preamp, Marantz Digital front end, and the MC352, I absolutely enjoy music thru my Spendor SP100's. The Spendors are relatively sensitive speakers at 90 db but they still need power such as that of the MC352 to control the 12" woofers. The vocals are just intoxicating with this combo. I listen to mostly jazz and classical, at low-moderate volume levels. Hope this is helpful.

I am using Klipsch Klipschorns with the MC352. Would suggest that you DEMO the new Klipsch Cornwall III's. It is one of the best speakers that I have ever owned. MSRP is 3500 but can be found for less. With the MC352 there are too many choices-so the only limitations will be your budget. Let your ears decide.

I'm also waiting to DEMO a MCD201. Here is a link to a Mc users group. You will find some reports on Mc gear and see what others are using.
