Little off topic, BUT,
I've had Mac SS amps 600s, 1.2 and a few others, I loved Ampzilla 2000s over ALL of them. JUST that amp. 2000s I had a few.
Accuphase really, REALLY GOOD but ($$$$$$$$$$), Ampzilla ($$$$$$), Mac ($$$$$$$) and then Pass ($$$$$$$)
UNTIL I heard Nord NC500 One Ups with rev C buffer board. ($$$$). Class Ds. Just jaw dropping quiet, AND WAY to powerful, no distortion.
1 ohm stable.
You can ROLL the opAmp in the amps for a sonic signature change.
Just a wonderful and easy option.
NIGHT and day on what you can do too. Tube like, to Accuphase accurate, REALLY!!!! THEY run very VERY cool and Idle at 25 watts I think.
These are NOT just any class D, they are VERY special, I've listened to MANY of the others, only two of 30 or so get close to the Nords.
If you need the weight you can always buy a 1/2" steel plate and mount the Class Ds to them. The are light too, in comparison.LOL
Make no mistake there is no LOOK like Mac. You may be a purest there too. All in all they are a TOUGH system to beat. You ever audition Mcintosh's newer speaker systems? Holy cow!!! WOW
I'll bet the Class Ds would tame the heck out the Mighty Wilson's Brightness for sure, You might hear something you NEVER heard. The perfect Wilson. Preamp, amp combo, for under 3000.00. That would be a first.. Ay? The MX120 is 1-2,000.00 USD at the most NOW... The Nords were 8-1200 USD a year ago per MB. Depends on options, PC RCA, trigger ect.
I really want a pair of Wilsons in the Herd, Dollars is all it takes. Now let me cash in a few of the old Mac collection.. It's time. Three or four aught to do it. 15-20,000.00 should do it ay? They are soooo COOL.
Giddy up horse, were out of here...
