Looking to replace my (Mcintosh)

What's your budget? :)

Other than insufficient power, are you happy with the quality of music reproduction with the 7100 ?

If you want power and finesse, Pass Labs is the best choice in my opinion. 

The new McIntosh Anniversary Amp, 2152, is a 150 per channel.  I call it a tank but it sounds sweet. A great Tube Amp

@luxmancl38 - we must be pretty close I’m in Southern NH. 

I found the LS50’s need a lot of power to get the best out of them. I use to drive them with a Rega Brio-r and always felt it was under powered. I swapped to an ML532 and that made a huge difference. I got rid of both and now have an MC275 and Harbeths, I’d be loathed to ditch my Mc gear, so maybe a 452 would be a good match.
