Who heard or has a McIntosh MC7100?

Nice job Aball.

I'm clearly not very well-versed on McIntosh. I just knew that I had always wanted to own McIntosh gear and jumped at the opportunity to buy a matching amp/preamp in such superb condition. It clearly wasn't my cup of tea.

The good news, however, is that you can experiment with little to no risk. The stuff holds its' value and is EASY to sell if you don't like it. I actually made a tidy profit ($400) when I sold mine.

If the sound floats your boat, you'll be set - 'cuz there's nothing more beautiful than McIntosh blue.

After all this trouble,,,if I dont get a MC2100 I may go for a pair of Monarchy Audio SM70 monoblocks.

I have had a McIntosh MC7100 for about 8 years now, and love it. Mine is mated with a PS Audio 6.2 preamp. To my ears, there is plenty of detail to the sound and I currently have no desire to upgrade. I would highly recommend this amp.

i have a mc7100 with peachtree decco2 and i love it

Does any one know the idle power consumption of the MC7100? Just curious if its a major power hog when not being used. I am considering buying an older version without an on/off switch from a friend.
