I have sort of a skewed opinion about integrated amps. If you can't build one with a ll the features people want and the power required to drive your target buyers speakers with the quality required at a reasonable price for that segment of the of potential buyers, then don't. I have heard the SS integrated amps and they are remarkably close to the separates at the same power rating. at a price and size that fills a demand. But how do you combine a C-2600 and two 240's on one chassis. A MA2102 would fill a nitch a lot easier than another <MA2275. In addition you could really tell the difference between a MA2275 and a 275 with a 2300. The two units were just more revealing. They didn't have more of anything, quantity, but the quality was better, especially the phono section. I wonder if Mac is investigating the KT120. I'm sure they have and wonder what they have found. Maybe its time for a MC 2401, too?. How about a reissue of a MC 3500 that will put out 500 watts. And yes keep the 19 inch rack mountable chassis with the metal anodized gold front panel. How about bringing Roger Russell back for a New ML-1E, a new XR290 or an improved version of his ISD. Build the amp or amps and processor into the speaker and make the entire system digital from source to amps. And for folks who want Dacs, why not make the Dac section of pre-amps a plug in card like the plug in tuner option? Then you could update your DAC periodically without replacing the entire pre-amp. Wouldn't it be fabulous and convenient if you could up date your C50 to a C-52 by just replacing a card. Or Have a slot to plug a new DAC card in the C-22 III. Lets see if I had a MX150 and a C-48 with the pass through option could I add a D-150 as a Pass through on the C-48, too? Wouldn't just be easier to have a plug in slot on the C-49?.
