I have a dilemma and would like some input from those more knowledgeable than me. I have inherited a McIntosh MC2250 amp. Here is my dilemma I currently have a Hafler XL-600 that has the Musical Concepts upgraded boards in it. It is connected to a Mcintosh MX-117 pre-tuner that Terry Dewick has gone through. The system fills my needs. The 2250 is less wattage but would satisfy what I listen to as the Hafler has rarely gone above half volume. The 2250 has not gone to the shop for any repairs that I am aware of. Question for the group will the 2250 sound better than the modded Hafler? I won’t be keeping both. The 2250 is commanding $2,500 on EBay now The Hafler less than half that even with the mods. Does anyone have input as to the sound differences I can expect? I have not pricked up the 2250 yet so I can’t do a comparisons. I am just beginning the thought process. Thanks in advance for any and all input.
