mcintosh MC 7270 or mc 7200

Woah, 200-270 wpc into Khorns! Good grief I have a 6 WPC OTL amp with these speakers in a fairly large room and anything over 10:00 on my volume control (with CD's, vinyl anything over 12:00) will make my ears bleed. Am I missing something here, these speakers have a sensitivity of about 104db?

lol, fantastic.I knew there was a mac conversation out here somewhere. Yes, I am running 18 watts right now to the Khorns and can't even break a sweat let alone perspire. For the most part it is what is out there for mac amps and reviews I have read about these amps along with what I have heard over the years. I don't expect to beat tubes... perhaps that is it. I have achieved what I wanted in tubes but my itch for mcintosh won't go away. I also own a set of JBL CF 150. 92db sensitivity which I suspect is where this system will wind up. I realize I do not need that much power but I also realize that certain amps sound different. Any other comments are appreciated.

The 7270 weighs 82 lbs without packing but is a keeper as is the 7200.I might look at a small tube amp with KHorns but its all good,B

I personally prefer the MC7270, which has the autoformers.

It is the first really modern amplifier built by McIntosh.

F.Y.I. I have owned both.
