Hey there,
I was hoping to get some opinions here. I'm looking at buying either one of these and was curious as to your guys thoughts. I understand that this isn't an apples to apples comparison because one is an integrated and one is a receiver. One thing that you could compare with these two though are the sound. Has anyone heard both the Sansui Au717 and the McIntosh MAC 1700? I don't necessarily need the tuner, so that doesn't really play into my decision. I know that these are 2 mass produced pieces but would one have a higher "collectible" value than the other? I would assume that integrated's in general would have a better sound but why not come to the experts!

Thanks!

The Mac has a higher collectible value because it's a Mac. In this case though, I'd take the Sansui. Unless they are similarly priced, then the Sansui is probably overpriced. The Sui is a fine integrated. I have a 517. Fine integrated amp and I have no desire to change at this time. Which is rare for me.
