Anyone heard about the new Mcintosh MC2301's?

I just bought a pair of MC2301's from Lmche after comparing side by side it to a MC402 (my amp at home). I thought my 402 was great; WOW, what a substantial difference. That is what sold me. The sound field was so much larger and clearer than my solid state 402. The MC2301's are incredible, detailed, and beautiful. These will probably be the last amps I buy, they are that good!

What else do you have in your system Tropicaldiver? I have mine now but won't be ready to hook them up til next week, maybe in ten days or so will have hooked up all the new stuff.

Beerdraft, I also have an C2300 preamp, an Esoteric X03 CD/SACD, and a Michell Gyro SE TT. I use sonus faber speakers. I am looking to upgrade my speakers higher in the sonus faber line and also looking to upgrade my preamp to the c500 tube. That's the fun I guess is the excitement of upgrading. You will love your MC2301's!

I am also looking to move up in the McIntosh line. I presently own the MC-501 monoblocks, I have the C1000 due in Friday although I have never heard one, I decided to take a chance due to the McIntosh reputation I may elect to upgrade to the MC2301's in the very near future. I also use the Nova Physics Memory Player as my digital and the Ascendo C8 speakers.

Man, Tropicaldiver, that sounds like a great setup. I will let you know how the c500t pairs with the 2301's. I hope to hook up on friday, my racks shipped today and due in on thursday. Still waiting on some of my shunyata power stuff but I can start without if they aren't in.

Mmitch7711, is your c1000 tube or SS? The 501's are great amps, not sure how they stack up with the 2301 or vice versa since I've never heard the 2301 yet. I should be able to do a comparison soon as mine will be hooked up and my dealer should have thiers playing soon to, and I've heard the 501's there running B&W 800D's, very nice indeed.

will let you know when I get to listen,
