Over the past few years I've tried out alot of really nice McIntosh equipment...an MR74, MR77, MR85, MR7084, C40, C42, C712, MC150, MC7150, MC7100 (a pair) and a MC202...recently I sold all these models and pulled a "system" out of the closet I've had for quite a few years...a C32, MR78 and a MC2205...it's amazing to me that with all the improvements in electronics over the past 30 years or so, that these three pieces together sound better than anything I've come across for a long time...no matter the age...no matter the cost...
