    I need to correct my last reply. It was a C504 that I missed.

    C26 paired with 2 McIntosh amplifiers

    Very interesting. I’m 67 and now only listen with my Widex hearing aids. They are a joy. Comparing the 2 systems with the same CD or record to me is really difficult. Both sound terrific. I missed a MX here locally too.

    C26 paired with 2 McIntosh amplifiers

    What does that do with respect to what I am hearing? And will it result in damage to the 7150? A feature I like, they are nearly all the same size and each are in MC wood cabinets.

    C26 paired with 2 McIntosh amplifiers

    I’m relatively new to McIntosh, And I haven’t posted for a while. I have a C26 I got in 2000. It is connected to MC 2505 as well as MC 7150. The 2505 powers ADS L700 - 4 ohm and the 7150 to JBL L100, I never run them simultaneously. To me this is a terrific feature. I definitely have 2...

    Post Your Marantz Gear Here!!!

    I have 2 - 4300's. Both have had some repairs but work beautifully. I have 1 original case and 2 reproductions. I use the Marantz to drive Klipsch RF26 and Heresy III's. I use a Marantz EQ10 and Marantz CD6006. The system blows me away in terms of clarity, definition and power. In college...

    What McIntosh Gear Are You Using?

    I got started with my first McIntosh during the pandemic. It was good for something! I purchased a near mint 7505 from Glenn Poor's Audio in Champaign. I didn't have a pre-amp initially so used a HK. I wanted to find a pre-amp and found an exquisite C26 with case near Chicago. It was driving...

    MC7150 & MC2505 feet questions

    Good morning. I have these 2 McIntosh amplifiers both of them in wood cases. I'd like to remove them from their cases and use them without, at least for a while. I haven't contacted Audio Classics but did search the forum. It appears the 2505 would use metal screw ~ #8 but I think the 7150...

    MC2505 with JBL L100's Any comments?

    I'm not an expert nor am I an audiophile. I play guitar and I would say listening to tube amplification vs transistor sounds full, deep, warm to my ears. This McIntosh follows that profile. And comparing it to the Marantz 4300 - 2 channel through the JBL's it is noticeably different. Just...

    Pan Loc?

    The cup will rotate freely. The Panloc pin will only depress maybe 1 mm. The left Panloc pin will depress at least 3-4 mm and can feel the spring action. Both are protruding from the face equal length 5 mm. It's all hooked up now and listening as I type. I still waiting on the case. I...

    Pan Loc?

    Also I see one of your main amplifiers is a MC2125. It's on my wish list. I like the the size of the 2505 but would like the extra power like the size and power of the 2125. And the cabinet I found is really nice. Still the sound of the 2505 and C26 is terrific. I have vintage L100's.

    MC2505 with JBL L100's Any comments?

    I searched and found this older thread. I'm new to McIntosh. I bought a MC2506 and C26 that I couldn't pass up. I have them hooked to L100's. I thought i would search to see if anyone had comments. I would agree with all the previous posts. To me it is very "tube like" amazing velvety...

    I "Hate" my new Klipsch Heresy speakers

    I bought a new pair of Heresy III's. They also came with a SW311 sub. All new. They are hooked to a Marantz 4300 along with R26F. Awesome! I have JBL L100's and ADS 700 too. Totally different excellent but absolutely agree about hearing sounds never heard on the source, LP or CD. I have them...

    Heresy III's and Marantz 4300

    Home alone today. So the Marantz 4300 is getting one hell of a work out! I have tweaked things a tad. I realize that the R26F's are high dollar but they are working quite well along with the Heresy's, maybe the next upgrade. I also added a mini FBQ Behringer that I use with my electric...

    Heresy III's and Marantz 4300

    So the Heresy's just arrived! I had it already wired so literally plug and play. Awesome! Right now, they are set on the rear channel and Klipsch R26F's on the front which are actually off the floor another 12". The sound is incredible. The Eagles Long Road Out of Eden get's the debut. The...

    Marantz 2275 purchase woes

    This is late but I've been searching for a metal top cover for my Marantz 4300. It has an original wood case. I've advertised on Craigslist. Yesterday I received a text from a fellow in MO.
