Kinki EX M1. Really. Far better than my old Mac mc202.
Mcintosh power amp for 804 D2s
Hi everyone,
I'm new here. I just purchased a pair of mint condition B&W 804 D2s. It's set as speaker B mainly for music listening, and driven with a Marantz SR7012 for my home theater set up. I would like to add a 2 channel amp only for music. McIntosh has always been in my dream/bucket list, so I am sure that's what I want to get. My budget is $4k-$5k. Would a new MC152 be sufficient? I listen mostly to classical and jazz at low to moderate volume. However, on weekends, I like "jam it up with the kids" and listen loud to rock, hip hop, etc....so I do need the speakers to go loud.
Or is it better to get a used, but more powerful Mcintosh like the MC252 or MC402 (which are in the $4-5k range used). Thank you in advance for your advices.
