Classe vs McIntosh

Hi Pops,

I was just curious about your new amp- did you feel you lost any detail or resolution vs. the solid state classes?

The Macs will give you a sense of more power (filling the spkrs demands)and a little more bass punch and drive. The Classes are more transparent and a tad more of a resolution ability. It is a matter of sonic preferences (music, volume levels, room size, cosmetics, etc..) since both are excellent options.

Hi Gnobber,

I actually picked up detail, but it seems to be more a function of the whole rather than noticably sticking out if that makes sense, I guess more natural and musical. I've only had these amps about a week and still getting to know them, they are astonishingly better than my classe. The background silence is dramatically improved, images emerge from a total black soundstage.
