What is low end / bass like MC 275 McIntosh tube amp?


Just curious. I’ve only heard the 275 at low volumes or with bookshelf speakers. The mids and highs sound really smooth. Compared to a SS amp, in general, does one lose much low end?

I run a 2.1 system with ZU Omen defs. With the sub, I do have some control over low end if I need to boost or lessen a bit.
MC275s, I own a 1961 and a CE GG, bass is not a problem.. Both early and later models. I use to run VMPS TIIse (2 x 12" bass drivers each).

They can ROCK... Late night listening.. Christal clear too.

A MC240, actually sounds better to me.. 6L6 valve. (I own a pair of those too).  Tough to beat the mids with 6L6s. MC30 with 6L6s are tough to beat.. MC60 with 6550s.. Bass is not a problem.. Either one..
4-24 ohm speakers work very well too.. Some valve amps don't like 4 ohm to much.. Macs will tap a 2 ohms, no problems, run HOT, but run fine.

I have mc501s and mc275. I normally bi-amp with the 275 doing the mids and hi’s. This sounds awesome. For kicks one day I compared the 501’s vs. the 275 on their own. I was surprised how well the 275 did, it was maybe 5% less than the 501s until you really pushed the volume way up
