Congratulations on the new gear. McIntosh MC452 is a great match to the C50 if it fits the budget. The MC302 would also be an option at a lower price point.
Nice! gear- tanlv702

Feed the Wilson speakers w/ the best power amp that you can afford.
You will be rewarded!  Keep me posted & Happy Listening!

Look at the tests done on these Sophia’s, the last 2 sentences first paragraph, indicates that many amps that have output transformers (tubes and the MC452) or amps with limited current ability, will sag a little current wise in the bass, and because of that will give a brighter presentation to the balance of the speaker.

Look for amps that have good current drive down to 2ohms if you want a more even natural balance, as Wilson would have voiced them. Probably with Krell or D'Agostiono amps or such.
