Mcintosh 601's vs Classe CA-M600's


Which would you chose? Speakers are Sonus Faber Stradivari.

Mike,

I think that if I had speakers with a list price of $45,000.00, I'd be going to where ever and listening for myself.

That said, I heard them with Mark Levinson 53 monoblocks and they sounded fantastic.

Mike,

I sat and listened in complete awe to the combo for two hours. The rest of the system was an I-Pad, Classe DAC, Mark Levinson preamp (whatever is the current top-of-the-line) and Tara Labs Zero Gold cabling.

I left feeling disgusted because my system sure didn't sound that good. Of course, my room was only half the size of the dealer's showroom, which was also well treated acoustically, and that does play a big part in what I heard.

Seriously, if you have that kind of money in those speakers, or even half that, you ought to be taking some road trips.
