Mcintosh MX 150 any one heard it yet?

Docrobbi, I do own the MX150 and purchased it a year ago from a local dealer. It has a Roomperfect (Mac's version of Audyssey room correction) but I've never used it. The MX150 alone sounds awesome and it had better be the price I paid. The 5 HDMI inputs DO NOT process the signal. They just act like switches, which I like since I prefer the source and projector do the video processing. I love everything about this preamp except that I wish Mac can upgrade the HDMI's to 1.4 for 3D playback. Now if you don't care for 3D, then you'd be 100% overjoyed!

"The 5 HDMI inputs DO NOT process the signal. " That, of course, applies to video processing only. HDMI audio is processed as needed.

Tacomafan, did you own any Mcintosh pre-pro's before the MX150 e.g. Mx135 Mx136 etc.? If so how would you compare the 2 channel sound to any of those?

I just wanted to correct Tacomafran - HDMI 1.3 supports 3D. The 1.4 revision added ethernet and audio return channel capability to the HDMI standard.

I have the D2v and love it. The vid chip is first rate. Sound is good and it has lots of flexablity. I have had it for about 7 months. Just recently I looked at the Mcintosh at a dealer and it looked and sounded great and I think it was the newest model (I am looking at buying a new amp). So I do not think you will make a major mistake with either product.
