Hi there. Im using B&W 803S and As Preamp i'm using McIntosh C2300 And Rotel RB-1080 as poweramp. Next in my upgrade path would be the Amp..
Of course i consider McIntosh and got a chance to have at home MC501 for a weekend. What i noticed compared to Rotel: Clarity, More Details, Depth , Better imaging... But also what i dont like... McIntosh sometimes in bass region sound too gentle.. Too soft..And it seem to be a bit slow. Also on songs with bass guitar there was bass guitar details missing... Seem that is the character of Mc sound, and simulating tube sound.. My room is 5.5m x 3.8m + 7 meters square opening.
Can someone who had a chance to A/B those amps to describe me the difference u found? I read almost anything i found on the net, but someone say there is no difference between MC402 and MC501, someone say MC402 is even more gentle then MC501, also i found that MC252 is better then MC402.
Maybe in the future if my room space allowed me i'll upgrade my 803s to 802d (i think in this room they would be too big, and just for that reason i didint get 803D also).
And is it possible to correct with cables or different source that softness and a bit slowish sound?
HTSteve i think u can give me answer that i need
Thanks...
