I read the review in 6moons which is what turned me onto Atoll. My perception of the review is that it outperformed the MF. I really think I am going with the Atoll. With its features, price, and performance I think it is the right choice.
Atoll v McIntosh v Musical Fidelity v Rega
I am a newbie and the more I read and the more I look, the more indecisive I become. I am looking for an integrated for a primarily two channel system but will be part of a HT system as well. I will be using a Marantz HT receive to power the rears and center. I will be mainly listening to vinyl and some CD. I have or soon to have a Clearaudio Emotion TT and Kirksaeter Prisma 210 for speakers (fronts and rears). I would rather buy new but am not against used as long as it is in excellent shape. I want to stay around $3k. I leaning toward the MF, but the McIntosh MA-6300 looks like a great option as well. Then a friend mentioned looking at the Rega Elicit (not much power though). And yet another mentioned the Atoll. Reading about the Atoll really has me interested. It is hand made in France and has gained some great reviews. It looks good and has plenty of power. But I am more confused as I keep looking.
