Hello. Hoping some of you more seasoned audiophiles can help me with direction.
Situation- I currently have a MA6300 with Klipsch RF-7 II's. I like the sound, but very underpowered for mids and lows. I have a MC402 on the way (my plan is to purchase a pre-amp someday after saving for separates). Until then I'm planning to use the MA6300 as the pre-amp. A few questions from this set-up please-
1) The 6300 has a 1V preamp main output. The 402 is set up for 2V input (unbalanced). Should I expect the 402 wattage output to be roughly half of the 400 watts due to the 1V output?
2) Should I expect the preamp of say a C47 to sound much better than the MA6300 when using the 402? Essentially is it worth the trouble/additional cost?
Any other input you can give for this set-up would be greatly appreciated.
Also, what is a great pre-amp for the 402?
Thank you all very much and thanks for the time.
