My son and I traded amps yesterday with the provision that if either of us wanted to trade back we could. He took my Prima Prologue 6 and I took his Mcintosh MC 7270's. i wish we could have done an a-b. I like both. If I had to make a hard choice right now it would be difficult. Wonder if any of you would have any suggestions or opinions you could give me. I know the final decision is what sounds right to ME. Just would like to get some ideas from you guiys who are much more 'tuhed in' than I am. Jacknorth11787

If you want to know the audible difference you really need to do A-B comparisons at matched levels, on your system. No one can really say how a component will sound on your system.
But, if you don't notice a difference then I guess it's all good?John

Not much info or perhaps inerest in this post. I have been playing the Mac for several hours the last couple of days. All in all I like the sound. Though on certain discs it seems strident in the midrange. I don't know the terms that should apply here. But the various instruments in the orchestra seem to mush together when the orchestra is reaching a crecendo (sp) Is this to be expected with a Mac amp? I should think not. If the answer is "no" then where should i look for the reason. Could it be in the discs? One that I noticed the problem in especially is a Phillips disc. I can tell a vast differnce betwenn the sound of the Prima and the sound of the Mac. Would appreciate some input from you. Jack North 1178Comment

Hi all,
I'm new to this forum, congrats, lots of competent people and enthusiasm as well!
I'm going for the big jump, moving from a entry-level system to a high-end one (skipping the intermediate steps, which in the end are more expensive than going straight for it).... -
Hi Guys,
I have a chance to pick up an older McIntosh MC7106 amp (circa 1992). My setup is B&W CDM7NT's for fronts, CDMCNT ccenter, and CDM1NT's for surrounds.

CDM7NT - Krell Kav 250a (250 x 2 Watt)
CDMCNT - Outlaw M200 (200... -
McIntosh is offering a good trade-up deal right now. They'll give you 75% of the original MSRP of your current Mac gear to trade up to something better...not bad :T . Limited time offer.

I need some sage advice. I have always thought I would like to get into Mcintosh amp and preamp but never had the necessary cash. I presently have Prima Luna 3 pre amp and the Prologue 6 amp. I know very little about the Mcintoshes. Was wondering what you would suggest in a Mcintosh that would be...
