McIntosh or BAT amps what is your preference

No I have not heard the MC207, I wonder if you can call a dealer and have them set one up. Some dealers will do that for you.

I wanted to try the MC1201's with the C200 but no dealer in New England have the MC1201's in stock. They are all pushing the C2200 and the MC2102, I think they are hot sellers.

I replaced my BAT VK-3i with a McIntosh C42 and the improvement is remarkably large for two preamps that were originally close in retail price. The BAT was missing a lot in terms of inner detail and soundstage organization so it never was able to convey the life in music like the C42 can.

I tried to set up a demo at the local dealer and he told me he would be happy to, but that if I owned the MC352 that I would not like it unless I was going to use it strictly fro HT and not 2 channel and needed to deperately save space. So I guess I am where I am for amps right now.
Another dealr is quitting business and has a good deal on the MC501's but that is more than I want to spend but damn they are beautiful! I heard the 1201's at the Rocky Mtn Audio Fest through the Mc Speakers and whoa theyre were amazing. What speed and articulation. Unfortunately McIntosh charges extra for the forklift.

Theo,
The dealer may be right. The MC207 was designed for HT and I am sure its really nice, but it's hard the beat the MC352 for a 2 channel system.
