Cary pre-amp with McIntosh amp

So far i never heard mc-2102 yet but dreaming one next.
I have Cary SLP-98L combo with mc-2100 and also combo with a pair of mc-225 on mono and the result is satisfactory.
Yuo can't go wrong with Cary combo w/ mc-2102.

Good luck.

I second the Cary CAD 120s with the preamp!

I have owned a 2102 for the past 7 plus years. IMHO, this is a great amp! Absolute sound made it a product of the year and Stereophile's Sam Tellig raved about it. Not that any of that means anything but it does show that there is some positive feedback about this amp. I absolutely love mine. It is capable of producing great sound in the right system. (I am currently using the C2200 preamp which I also feel is a real quality product). I have a small listening room and when I bought this amp I was looking for a tube unit that produced wonderful sound at moderate listening levels. (In a small room, moderate is loud!) Driving JM Labs 937B speakers, this amp fills my room with a full, wide, sound stage, deep, pinpoint accurate but not overpowering, bass you can feel, and the most gorgeous mids and highs. I would think that your Cary Preamp would do well with this amp.

I'll put the Cary on my short list - but honestly I'm getting the McIntosh bug - bad... I've read several reviews and clearly it's well regarded (plus it's drop dead georgeous!)

My listening room is also on the small side so the power is not an issue. At any rate, the Wilson's are pretty efficient, and 100W should be plenty (if necessary I can always buy two 2102'2!)

I have a feeling this may be my last amp.
