McIntosh MC207

Speakers: want/need sub(s)?

Keep in mind, if using Sub(s) for home theater, when using 2 channel mode, if Sub(s) are not on, you want to make sure all the bass gets to the front mains. It can be tricky, read the manuals, options, ask, 

I use a MX122 with a MC207, this system replaced a Krell HTS 7.1 and Krell TAS. I only used the HTS 7.1 as a volume control, all HT processing was done by an Oppo UDP-205. Results with both systems were excellent IMHO. But the McIntosh equipment just looks beautiful to me. Unfortunately I spent little time with the McIntosh system as we relocated and everything is currently in storage. One thought I had is front speakers are B&W 802D, that can be bi-amped. I plan to do just this when I eventually re-assemble my HT system. The system will remain a 5.1 configuration and the extra 2 channels on the MC207 will be used to bi-amp the 802D speakers. To facilitate this I purchased 2 XLR Y splitter cables from Blue Jeans cables. Everything is ready to go, just need to buy the house.
