Bryston or Mcintosh Amps?

McIntosh speakers should sound better through Mcintosh amps. Since they were designed with Mc amps, I think any thing else will miss the mark of the designers sound.
I asked myself this question years ago and although the Bryston was a close second I have had many Mc amps and never looked back. Always get a good resale, and in all honesty...I love the look.

Drpipes,

I really like McIntosh product and the 1.2K's look awesume but I would have to agree with Drummermitchell's thread and not rule out the Bryston 28B SST Squared mono blocks. If I was you I would demo both in your own set-up to hear which you and your wife prefer.

I have a 4B-ST and an MC-252, neither is for sale. Your speakers will possibly make the decision for you if you can demo both. If 28B-SSTs are your idea of saving money, I like your style, it is a pleasant delima, have fun.
