I have not heard the MX122 directly, so I’m assuming here. I think both would have similar sound, a somewhat laid back sonic signature. Both have good approaches to power supply. I could be wrong, but I think McIntosh uses op amps for all analog stages, where the Marantz has discrete audio output boards. The Marantz will be cheaper because they sell a LOT more and can sell for lower price. McIntosh sure does have a beautiful front panel.
Processor recommendation
Please provide me with constructive criticism and advice on my HT and Music system and let me know what processor you would recommend for it, I was thinking the theta Casablanca III or Anthem AVM 60 or Marantz 8802 or emotiva xmc:
Monitor Audio PL300 Series 1 - Fronts
Monitor Audio PL350 - Middle
Monitor Audio PL100 - Rear
Mcintosh MC 300 - three of them, one for each front channel
Mcintosh MC 152 - for two back channels
Oppo 205 DVD
Emotiva xmc — processor - haven’t bought it yet and need it for ht movies and music playing
Thanks for the advice!
