Mcintosh MAC7200 or Hegel H390 for a new pair of Kef R7 META

I’ve never heard any Hegel so I can’t speak to them but I do really enjoy my ma8900.  If you can, get out and listen to both so you know what you’re getting into.  You’re spending a good chunk of money make sure you get what sounds good to you.

My Dad has a MA8950, awesome amplifier.   

The MAC7200 at 200 WPC into 2,4, or 8 Ohms will easily drive the KEF R7 Metas, which call for 15-250 Watts at 4 Ohms.

My 7200 is connected via a passive splitter to the TV antenna mounted in my attic and I listen to broadcast FM for several hours each night, and mostly stream during the day.

I'll probably upgrade the 7200's DA1 to a DA2 at some point, but am in no hurry.

The 7200 would make a fine choice - enjoy whatever sounds best to you!

@rhtowson Thanks! I can't wait! 

If it were me I’d spend the extra $1000 and get the 8950 instead of the 7200. I believe the 7200 comes with the DA1 module and the 8950 comes with the DA2. 8950 also has tone controls and no receiver. Either will drive the Kefs no problem.

totally agree. The optional upgatable da2 will cost more then 1k, and 8950 holding some other advantage. In short, go for 8950😁
