Almost time to upgrade

[beans]

I should be getting a royalty check soon, big enough to justify ONE upgrade. Here is my wish list:
Trade in my MC752 for a new MC275-V (same rated power BTW)
Trade up from the MC752 to MC252 (this is in our master BR so don't need big watts)
Trade up from a C504 to a tube preamp (whichever one is least $$$)

OR buy vintage McIntosh amp and preamp from Audio Classics and sell the ones I have.
In this scenario I would like:
MC2255 or MC2125 or maybe even MC225
C33, C34V

I want to keep the styling matched up, and I'm never getting rid of my MR78... it's my baby.
What would you do if you were me? (besides kill yourself)

How about the 60th anniversary set. Its sweet !

This isn't sarcasm, is it?
The check won't be THAT big... I have huge WAF invovled here, too.
I'm just glad I got a response from you other than YOU ARE BANNED

Oh oh, sounds like Grumpy is warming up to McIntosh, or should I say McIntosh is warming up Grumpy? Maybe you'll have to change your name to "Not so Grumpy" after living with your C220 a little longer.

HEY... C220... Maybe that is the answer! But grumpy says the stock tubes suck. And I'd be getting away from the MR78 styling, but that has to happen sometime.

one vote for the 2255!

I can make the rounds with my private jet and pick up a dozen or more AK'rs.

What time Saturday do you want us to arrive?

No Sarcasm meant. Figured id suggest it.

For those that don't know my main system for a long while was mostly Mc.

Its not that I'm warming up to it just that if I get to spend other peoples money then why not

Just kidding... and I agree that would be a perfect bedroom rig. I'd even pair up the new C24 with my MC752.

 

[ltleo]

forget the amps, get yourself a real sub, JL goth, would do very nice!!!

I have used the sub from the theater room in there (Paradigm PW2200), and it was fantastic... but I want to upgrade my Mac components, maybe taking advantage of the trade-up program while it lasts.
