Equalizer in a Hi Fi system

@mirolab   I definitely will update as I really on figuring I will be really liking the McIntosh MQ112. Also I really do like this feature that it has. It’s has a tilt knob. What is does is works at the centered frequency point. When turned counterclockwise the tilt control works by boosting all the frequencies below the tilt frequency ( Bass signals). While attenuating all signals about the tilt frequency ( treble signals ). When turned clockwise the tilt control boosts all frequencies above the tilt frequency and attenuates all frequencies below the tilt frequency. So sometimes u just use the tilt to hear and have those changes without touching any other frequency knobs. There is a great video on utube about an hour long on this unit. Very detailed and discussed by a McIntosh owner and from a McIntosh dealer that I am goin to see tomorrow morning and most likely purchase it.Really looking forward to demo this. 

I am really looking forward to hearing this MQ112 along with purchasing it tomorrow. I have also been reading about and watching videos on the McIntosh MEN220 Room Correction System. It’s very interesting and maybe one of my next and final purchases to bring out the best of my room and system. BTW. My system is in my profile if anyone is interested in what I have. 

Also even though I have never owned any McIntosh gear I have no doubt that they are are high quality built unit. Seems to be a much better quality than the Schitt Max. And I’m sure it will out live it also. And will fit nicely with my Audio Research Ref system. The Schitt Max looks like more of something someone would put in a midfi system or use with headphones. Not knocking that or the Schitt Max at all but all in all I believe the MAC will win the place in my High end system. 

I’m excited for you. I wouldn’t think you can go wrong with the McIntosh. Great products. Please listen first though. As stated previously it’s lacking in upper octave controls. If that’s not important to you then it’s likely an amazing product. 

@mirolab , have you ever heard the Maag EQ4M?  It is renowned and revered in mastering circles for its air treble shelf section. It’s always available with a 30 day return on Amazon, and I’m always tempted to try it. I never do though because 1) I love the CO and 2) it doesn’t have dual stereo controls like CO and Vintage Skyline.
