Mcintosh MC275 alternatives?


Hello All, I'm considering this unit, not being too familiar with the current crop of tube amps in market at the moment, can anybody recommend alternatives I should be looking at?

 

Criteria as follows

-North American / European / Japanese made,

-50 watts minimum

-el34 or kt 88

The MC275 tube amp is back ordered for 9 months due to very high demand. I did notice Audio Classics had 2 used ones, not sure which series as they are up to series VI.  

What is the rest of your equipment and room like?

 

You are a MacIntosh fan? Lots of folks are… but they have a very unique sound profile. I am personally not a fan. 

Quicksilver 40 watt Mid Monos. Not pretty but no better amp available.
