McIntosh c2700 users please chime in?
You are correct. I've read many forums thru the years, when discounts and prices are brought up, there is always a "pretender" or two who seem to think it's an insult to ask for a discount. Generally, Lottery winners go broke because they do not s... 
Do McIntosh dealers give discount on new models?
Macs are pricey.  
Audio discounts during Coronavirus
If I had to guess, the biggest discounts would be on in-stock inventory and Demo units. Generally, the bigger the markup, the bigger discount. Unfortunately, there will probably be dealers closing if this thing lasts too long. Lets hope things sta...

Who is "AC"? 
McIntosh c2700 users please chime in?
You may be right about current line up macs. I would be fine with a demo unit, however, being so new, probably not a lot available. However, you can get discounts of the "online dealer Mac models" (the ones you see in crutchfield, MD, etc) at BB M...

RalphHow about the Benchmark ABH2 design. I believe its a unique design with very low distortion? 
Low output gain amplifier for ZU 101db Efficient speakers
I’m actually quite happy with the first watt. Thanks for all the suggestions 
Who has a McIntosh C70 anniversary preamp? Thoughts?
Yes I did. The BHK blows away the RP5. I'm also considering the c2700 as well. I like the fact the dac module is upgradable and I can make more shelf space (no external dac). I dumped Tidal and only stream Qobuz and my massive ripped CD, DSD and S... 
Considering A SS amplifier
The 4365's deserve big honkin solid state amps IMO. Just for giggles, you could buy one of the high powered Crown amps off Amazon on the cheap and see if that is more your taste. Then you can go after a higher end that is similar. I'm thinking one... 
Last Preamp? Could The Search Finally Be Over?
I bet it was Keith...LOL 
New tube preamp
One more thing. Have you tried running your system without a pre (maybe thru your DAC, etc) and see what kind of sound you are getting? I'm just not certain switching Pre amps at the price level of BHK will provide jaw dropping differences. You al...
