No sound from Mack !!!

Hi
I have Mcintosh C-26.....Mcintosh 7100, Platinum audio monitors.  MY problem is when i connect the speaker wires to the (C26) main/remote on the back i get nothing......i then connect to the (back) of the 7100 and i get sound .....any idea as to what the problem might be?
                                               Most Thanks in advance
                                                        Jeff......

I have a C26 in my secondary system. As imfihifan stated, you have to first connect the preamp to the amp. Then connect the speakers to the C26, main and remote.

So you have the 7100 outputs going into the C26 Amplifier Output terminals?
And you have a RCA cable going between the C26 Main Output to the 7100?
And you have all pushed the buttons to make sure nothing is set incorrectly?
Are you sure you have the speaker connections correct? The older C26 had odd colored terminals.
Try plugging and removing a 3.5mm jack into the headphone socket a few times in case it is shunting the load due to stuck internals.

Sounds like the C26 may be faulty.
