Looking to replace my (Mcintosh)

Jeff, I feel somewhat qualified to answer as I have owned a mac 7100, and I am a fellow Jeff. I actually miss the punchy lively sound of my old 7100, I ran it with a ARC LS1 and into some Thiel 2.2s, I have fond memories of that system. Anyway that was long ago, I am a huge fan of Wyred4 sound. One of their 250 watt amps will likely get the job done. What preamp are you running?
Thx Jeff

Pre-amp is Mcintosh C-28 but that could change as well

I picked up a Mac 2102 last year it's got lots of power and sounds great. After going to a tube amp you won't go back.

USaudiomart has an Anthem P2 for $1,800.00 right now 325WPC @8ohms, 500WPC@4ohms,675WPC@2ohmsvery solid build quality and plenty of power for any speaker.

I’d personally keep the McIntosh amp and buy a more efficient pair of speakers. I’m a Tekton and Zu fan myself, but that’s just my 2 cents.
