Amp vs receiver - comparable price/ sense

I’m certain you are paying a premium on the name with the MAC1700 price. But then again, the prices of McIntosh have been going up. If I recall, the MAC1700 is also a hybrid. I believe it uses tubes for the tuner.

It sounds like you can pick and choose with the choices you have. Why don’t you try to define what look and features you would like, and see if it is practical?

And yes, the 1700 is a hybrid indeed.
