who REALLY needs 
200 pure true bonifide 200 watts per cahnnel??
My WBers really work best with 1 watters.
Defy @ saolid 100 watts, using linestange at say 9 oclock = 85 watts NOT needed.
My friends 6 watt 250 tube, at 10 oclock its 85SPL 
= 4 watts NOT  needed.
200???
For what? magneplanar 3 pannel speakers?? Guess so.
The green bling. The green LEDs under the tubes. Otherwise, the old MC275 is a classic.
What makes you think of it as hate.

I have McIntosh gear - sounds wonderful. 
That doesn’t imply other manufacturers don’t make awesome sounding equipment. 
Additionally, my statement doesn’t suggest there’s a value per dollar associated with McIntosh that’s better or worse than other manufacturers. 
Enjoy the music. And the system you’re listening to in the moment because life changes:)
Sluggish and fat: no leading edge or decay. Wallbanging greatness. Muscle amps like muscle cars: good in a straight line
