mcintosh 501's treble extension; yes or no?


Every review I have read on the 501 monoblocks rave about their dynamics, soundstage, bass control and mid range. They are not as enthusiastic about their treble extension and the ability to retrieve fine details. I sold a mcintosh 7000 integrated and was pleased with the treble extension, etc. Has any one compared these two and what are your thoughts on how they stand up to each other in their ability to retieve fine detail.

Having had them on Maggie 3.6's, I would look elsewhere. I have several Mac pieces and am a Mac guy, but the 501's failed to impress me. I also had the 402, and that would be the amp I would give serious consideration to if it were me and you were after a Mac.
Ya know, I ended up with a pair of 275's strapped in mono, and those amps with the 3.6's are sublime. That is the amp/speaker combo I am running now.
