what should i keep, shindo or mcintosh

well right now i use audience e24 the new upgraded speaker wire, so i should stick with the shindo, and not have all the mcintosh gear together, with the c2300, 501, mht-200. right now i have dali helcon mk2 400 that i just got. but they just dont work in my room. so im looking at the totem winds. but due to differnt dealers i cant trade in the helicon, thus they are now on sale here. so i was going to use some of the money from the shindo to help pay for the winds. how much do you think i would get for the mcintosh preamp. never used. vs the shindo? im stuck. unless i sell the helicons. then i would keep both.

Agree with mikeyc8 - you don't know what the Shindo is capable of without the Aud23 speaker wire and shindo ic's.

i have to agree on the topic of the AUD 23 speaker cables. These are just awesome spkr cable replacing my more expensive hi end cables. For $880 / 2.5m pair, its a steal!!!
I would also keep the Shindo Pre/amp over the Mac pre. SHindos are harder to come by.

As others are saying, you aren't hearing the Shindo to its full capacity. However I think it goes beyond just the wires you are using. Your entire system just isn't like 100% of other Shindo user systems seen on Audiogon or elsewhere.

All of your other gear is screaming to be matched with the Mac stuff.

So if it was me and I just loved the Shindo sound, then I would be thinking about a piecemeal overhaul of my system.

You don't seem too interested in that, so I vote keep the Mac.

I must confess that I have been underwhelmed whenevery I have listened to Shindo components.
