Classe or McIntosh

I am familiar with the MC240 and it is very beautiful sounding. At the time I had Paradigm ref 100.2 and it worked great as long as you didn't overdo the volume. I want to get one in the future. Michaela is right on the mark - expect to get a big difference in sound from the CAM200s.

There is nothing wrong with the MC60s - they are basically the same as the other Mc tube amps of that era. They are rare though and fetch a handsome sum of money when the finally appear on the market.

Drr - I went from a Krell KSA100 to a McIntosh 7100 and never regretted it. What models are you comparing?

i own a pair of classe cam 350's and i have owned a pair of mc60's.....

two totally different animals...

the cams are very,very dreamy for a ss amp -very reliable.
the mc60's are carmel colored- relaibilty unknown..

i would be tempted to the middle ground with the atmasphere mc60 with a matching speaker.

Aball,

The comparison was from two Mc2105's to one KST100.
I have since upgraded to several much more advanced Krells.

There are many good amps both solid state and tubes as indicated in this discussion. However, the patented unity coupled output transformer in MAC tube amps is unique. It has the lowest distortion of any other push pull output transformer, and this does translate into very natural presentation. I always get drawn to the sonic presentation of vintage MACs, such as the MAC 1500 receiver, the MC 225 amplifier and the MA 230 integrated amplifier.

Ocean,you did't mention the MC60s in your list. Any reason?
