Hello All :)

Is anyone here has compared the integrated amplifier between us ?

MA64XX versus MA 68XX
or
MA6500 versus MA6900


My question is double :

- Impact of the autoformers ?
- different sound of the pre-amplifiers ? (MA64XX vs MA68XX).


Thanks all

Ugo :)
 
The MA6900 is a *spectacular* amplifier - it is every inch a "Mac", and sounds as good as anything that I've ever heard in its power class.
It represents a terrific value, and is far, far superior to my old C-26 / MC2205 combination...there is absolutely no comparison.
Sam Tellig in "Stereophile" bought his review sample, and states that the autoformers could give the 6900 a tube-like quality. I may be biased, but to me, a McIntosh amplifier without autoformers is just another solid-state amplifier.

Hello Emile :)

I hope that you are cleanning your MA6450... mine is "at the top" and we will know soon the name of the winner (6850 ???).

In fact i am a little bit afraid... I really like the sound of the 6850 but i think that this amplifier gives a small "color" at the sound... and may be...


The result here in Two weeks :smoke:
