McIntosh MC275 vs MC2102

OK all you Mac experts, can anyone give a brief description of the sonics between the MC275 amp versus the MC2102 amp. Their job would be to power the top end of the Infinity RS1-B system (4 ohm).

Thanks

They both sound MACnificent but The MC2102 with it's 2 modes of mono operation (parallel or bridged) can theoretically drive a wider range of speakers from 1 - 16 ohms. Parallel will provide more current into low impedence speakers while bridged will provide more voltage for low sensitivity speakers.

Hi Jamnesta, the MC 275 can also be bridged for up to 150 wpc (many say up to 190wpc!!).

Hi Rick, Yes, on the MC275, but just parallel configuration.
More to discover
