HI ALL,I TRY TO LOOKING FOR SPEAKER GO WITH MY MC 501 AND PREAMP IS C 2200.BUT MY BUDGET IS $9000,00 (I COULD LIVE WITH USED ONE NO PROBLEMMA...)MY TYPE MUSIC IS LOVE SONG AND ALSO MY ROOM IS 13X19 .PLEASE HELP ME OUT !!!!!THANKS YOU ALL .SORRY MY ENGLISH IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
I am using JM Lab Alto Utopias. I like the combo. The MC501's were revieved with JM Lab Nova Utopias when the 501's won product of the year in 2003. You can get the Alto Utopias for half of their retail right now brand new at Audio Unlimited in Denver as well as Singer in New York as they are being replaced with the new Utopia III line. The retail was $22,000 at their last pricing and they can be had for new for about $11,ooo now.
I had the 501's a few years ago and they were not a good match with my speakers, a buddy had the JL Labs Utopias, and they now reside at his house. There were, and are, a perfect match.
I'm using Canton reference 1 with 501 and c46. It is a very detailed speaker, live sound and strong bass. I had a good deal of a demo pair. In the future I will hear JM lab utopia 3 la scala, Wilson maxx 2 (3 is coming but it will be more expensive) and maybe Martin Logan CLX, (new sound for me?).
