what should i keep, shindo or mcintosh

interconnects are a meter, not the problem, i was not looking for people to tell me what sounds better, i know what one does, i bought both, so i would say i know what they sound like in my system. i was asking what would most choose since both are involved in my hometheater set up also. so i was not looking for sarcastic answeres. if thats all you have, then keep them.

i have both a two channel set up and a ht set up all in one. when i want to listen to two channel i set the mcintosh mht-200 to bypass and then listen to either the shindo or mcintosh. then i would sell the other, since i dont need two anymore. the question is what makes makes more sence. the shindo sound wonderfull, the mcintosh, is about 90 persent sound wise, but give me ease of use, with out having to set volume at 12 oclock all the time in ht mode. thats all, just looking for thoughts. on what would sell faster. they are set up in a system that has a mcintosh mht-200 501's mono blocks, esoteric dv-60. all audience eau24 interconnects

I personally would go for the Shindo, which seems to have a more open soundstage and more of a 'live' feel to it. The Mac gear tends to be a bit relentless and artificial in comparison, IMO.

what pre amp would bring back the most when i sell it, they are both very new. i cant keep both i am upgrading my speakers yet again. so one has to go due to the funds.

You answered your own question
The Shindo is 110% of the McIntosh or vice versa the McIntosh is 90% of the Shindo as you phrased it.
A little inconvenience or mindfullness is never a bad thing to deal with or be attentive to
Listen to your words and the answers are there

I agree with Uru975, you have already answered you own question grasshopper. If you want sound, go for the Shindo, if you want convenience go for the Mac. You aren't even tapping the full potential of the Shindo yet, try some Shindo interconnects instead of the Audience 24 cables (they're cheaper to boot) and also try some Auditorium 23 speaker wires, then your Monbrison will really sing....
