Mcintosh mc451 mono - anybody use this new dual amplifier?

Are you familiar with the 2 301? 901 Version of the 2301 has six small tubes per mono vs 2. They actually have solid state circuitry and the current 2301 model, where now on the 901 Version version it’s pure tube circuitry.

Very strange why they have so few small tubes in the original 2301.

Get a pair of MC3500 Mk2s.  They have plenty of power and grip on the bass and it is more advanced than the 2301 tube component.  No need to bi-wire.  Just solid, simple power, grip, airiness and finesse.  Amazing amps.

So you think the MC 3500 is better without ‘biamping’? How do you feel about biamping with the MC 600   600 W amplifier for the bass and tube amp for the upper drivers

That would probably be great!   The 1.2Ks even better since the 3500s put out a lot more than 350 watts.

That's the spirit. But why stop there when you can have the MC 2K monos.
