Samurai7595,
Is that a Rega DAC-R in the pic?
While I do not have a Mac 6700, I do lust after one to replace my (perfectly working) Mac 4100.
Replying to my own message -- how tacky! Anyway ordered a MAC6700 today from Audio Classics -- found one with the TU2 FMHD card. Decided NOT to trade the MA5200. The MAC6700 will be installed into my main system, powering a pair of Klipsch Chorus II speakers. The key to the purchase decision was the TU2 HD tuner module with the unit. Not so many of those around. Audio Classics was great! The key to my decision was the recent purchase of an MR88 HD tuner (also from Audio Classics). It's a wonderful piece of gear. Can't wait for the MAC6700 to arrive. I'm working out to build necessary muscles to lift and install it.I've got an MA5200 integrated amp which I love -- but now investigating a trade up to MAC6700 - mainly for the HD tuner capability. We've got a good classical HD service locally. The MA5200 was my first McIntosh product. It was an upgrade from a Yamaha A-S2000 amp. I can only say, "why did I wait so long."
You'd be hard pressed to find an issue with a McIntosh unless it required servicing or something, but I'm very happy with my MA9000! Does the MA6700 not meet your expectations?
I did not trade up -- kept the MA5200 for my office but purchased a MAC6700 from Audio Classics for the main 2-channel system. It's very big and heavy, and sounds fantastic with my Klipsch Chorus II speakers. No buyer's remorse. Very pleased with the purchase and with the Service from Audio Classics (thanks Derek!).I've got an MA5200 integrated amp which I love -- but now investigating a trade up to MAC6700 - mainly for the HD tuner capability.

I've purchased a second MAC6700 for my office. With TU2 tuner module. So you could correctly figure I'm happy with the unit.Call out to all McIntosh MAC6700 owners...
I auditioned one of these and was very impressed. I like the build quality (built to last a lifetime), look, connection options and most of all the sound. Mind you, I was not too crazy about the McIntosh remote as it looks like a dated TV remote.
For all MAC6700 owners/users, are you still happy with your purchase?
Any regrets or issues?
What speakers are you using with the MAC6700?
Well, you will be very happy with your purchase. I'm quite certain of that.I realize this thread is more than a year old now. However, I just purchased my FIRST MacIntosh, a pristine/cherry mint shape MAC 6700, it arrived today all in tact. I haven't hooked it up yet and it may be several weeks before the initiation night arrives as so much to do to get the upstairs music room situated and set up. All other units are in their boxes due to a recent move 1 year ago. The speakers it will drive are Polk 75 - T Cherry Monitor Series Speakers. I look forward to the adventure waiting ahead for me. I, like MacIntosh, was born in Binghampton New York, so it is all meant to be in my book.
