No, it will not sound any better. The power advantage is meaningless as the MC7300 will easily drive the Khorns into utter distortion and burst both your son's ear drums. I think a Class A solid state amp would be the way to go. Anything more than 100 watts/ch is a waste of money.
klipshorn speakers
my son has a pair of klipshorn speakers. i don't know the model name but they are pretty big. he's running a mcintosh mc7300 amp to power them.he's thinking of getting a mc602!! he likes to play his music loud! will he hear a difference with the mc602?? he found a mc602 on ebay for 7.2k! would it be worth the money to buy it???

@larryi Has it 100% right. Mac makes great looking gear but other brands make great sounding music. |
Sir, I’m sad to say, you and his schools have done a lousy job of teaching your son how to think. He ought to be able to figure out his existing 300wpc is far more power than those highly efficient speakers need, even in a very large space. And, he’s not smart enough YET to figure out he will spend MANY YEARS wishing he did NOT listen too LOUD! He is probably damaging his hearing, as many of us regrettably did! .......................... I agree, go TUBES. Want McIntosh, get a vintage McIntosh Tube Preamp and Tube Amp, I would chose the mx110z preamp tuner/preamp (like mine), and the slightly larger MC2275, 75wpc, more than needed, but in case he changes to less efficient speakers in the future. Got a fetish for big blue meters, get over it. best of luck, |
While providing more headroom very little will be gained doubling the power. The drivers have maxed out. Even if they could move more air in the perfect situation a max of 3db is all that would be gained. Using both amps and bi-amping would provide the ability to increase the bass for a perceived increase in volume. Instead of another amp an additional set of speakers would provide the increased volume better simply more power |
