Mcintosh 462 stereo amp, good choice for b&w? Others

Audioholics really liked that amp... silly amount of power.   I think some people remember the Clarion years for lack of a better word, and yes some of the products from that period were just ok.  Were they junk ?   No way , they were still a lot better than what was available mainstream.  Certainly not like c-j or Quicksliver or many others.  But not junk.   I had a C15 and 7100 and they were pretty good for what I paid for them....used them about 5 years and profited $1000 on the pair.....  

 Todays McIntosh amps and preamps are much , much better.    

So classe vs mcintosh vs ……

I have heard that combination at a local dealer and found them work very together.

To all the McIntosh haters, the factory has broken ground on a huge expansion at their Binghampton factory.   From what I hear, their business has more than doubled in the past year.  Their 462 is their newest amp in that series.  It's the last amp you will ever need.   I am not a B & W fan but the amp sounds great on Focal and Legacy speakers.
