Spectral vs. McIntosh

What mac are you trying to compare to spectral. And which spectral ?
I am not sure it makes any difference because the two products
are so different. I will say that the spectral owner is not likley to sell and buy mac. Just my opinion.

two of my all time favorite brands...the spectral is more analytical....the mac more warm and tubelike.

I do not try to compare models, but just to get an impression of what the difference in sound is. I myself have a McIntosh C200/MC402 combo, which offers excellent mids, deep, life-like bass (very important to me!), natural highs, but not the last degree in resolution. I just wonder about Spectral, which I have never listened too, but which is supposed to sound excellent as well. I am just out for impressions and descriptions of people who have done so.
