    McIntosh MC58 - good option for HT Power Amp?

    Hello,

    Has anyone out there owned a McIntosh MC58 8 Channel Power Amp and used it as a HT power amp?

    I've searched far and wide for some details on this amp but cannot find much information on this model.

    I'm currently running my HT through a Marantz sr5005 (B&W CM7, CMC2 (on the way), CM1, ASW2500 speakers).

    Would it be worth getting the MC58 to run a the Pre-outs from the Marantz into it?

    I read that you can bridge 3 of the channels to give 100W for Front & Center and run the surrounds at 50W. Would this kind of upgrade be worth it or would it be better to just get an all new receiver?

    Thanks!

      802D and McIntosh 207 amp
      by fatcat
      Has anyone heard the N802/802D driven by the McIntosh 207 amp? It's rated at 200 watts/channel 8 ohms, but reportedly puts out closer to 300 watts. With McIntosh's reputation for driving most any speaker with ease, I'm not too concerned, but the 802 is famously power hungry.

      Of course,...

      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.

      They are currently amped as follows
      CDM7NT - Krell Kav 250a (250 x 2 Watt)
      CDMCNT - Outlaw M200 (200...

      N802, McIntosh MC452 & Denon 4311 a bad match?
      by mskvarenina
      On a limited budget I can't go all out and get a bunch of high priced gear. I have 802Ns already and have been evaluating a Denon 4311CI. At 140WPC the 802s are starving for power at louder volumes. So I may be able to spend a bit on an amp and the MC452 looks like a great amp.

      The...
