| New McIntosh amp build quality One other thing to consider is that the 75 wpc rating is conservative. They are closer to 90 wpc in stereo and 180 wpc in mono. | |
| New McIntosh amp build quality I have KEF Reference 5 speakers. I went to the other end of the amp spectrum and am now powering them with Electrocompaniet Nemo monoblocks. I thought about adding another MC275 to get the additional power I wanted while keeping the smooth sound... | |

| Recommendation on power amp I have KEF Reference 5s (work better in my room than the Blade 2s) and power them with Electrocompaniet Nemos. Tough to find now, but they are a great match. The high-end KEFs like a high-current amp with plenty of power to drive them. Others that... | |

| Many seem to be talking about their last system . Well, in anticipation of losing discretionary funds to supporting the coffers of the universities of my kid’s choice, I built up 3 systems. One in my main listening room, one in my bedroom and one in my youngest son’s room (19 years old). I think ... | |
| Many seem to be talking about their last system . Two kids in college has me off the upgrade cycle for now. It will be interesting to see what the market looks like when I get to come back up for air in a couple of years. | |
