Mcintosh MC500 or Accuphase P800

I believe it was an acapella violon, with four fifteen inch woofers per side, big midrange horn and ion tweeters, pretty impressive!
but this brings us away from the topic...
so far no recommendations for the accuphase.
Any opinions on how the MC 500 sounds versus the newer models. On this forum I already found some in favour of the newer mac amps. What about the levinson 432?
When I compare specs with the levinson 336, the 336 has bigger transfos and more output transistors but it has known capacitor problems, which I haven't read about on the levinson 432...

I have done a KO test for which power amplifier is better to drive my JBL Century Gold speaker , the result is Mcintosh MC7270 KO Accuphase P-800 ...so my P-800 sold already. and i m going to upgrade my power amp , I m looking for the Mcintosh MC500 ...

Marcustang,could you maybe describe what musical aspects of your P800 where bettered by the Mcintosh?thx!
