Very wise, patience saves a lotta bucks in this sport. I like your system, the pieces are a good match imo; I’ll bet it sounds pretty nice. Always thought the 4100 was a very nice piece of equipment too.
Enjoy the music.

guess you could call my stereo system vintage. pre-amp 30+ years old, tuner 40+ years old, Turntable 50+ years old, phono cartridge around 15 years old, speakers 15 years old, program equalizer 52 years old another 40 years old, dynamic expander 44 years old. CD recorder, 33 years old, The only items newer our the power amps 2 years old, amp for the remote speakers 53 years old, Maximum performance indicator is close to 50 years old, and the remote speakers about 25 years old. The tuner, 
pre-amp and MPI-4 have been in the shop for restoration and repairs. The crossover, Crown EQ
and the multi channel amps shown are for the separate HT system. I have a thick pile rug on order for the area shown. I for got the phono pre-amp, its 3 or 4 years old and the Blue tooth reiever which is two years old.. You can easily mix and match Mcintosh Equipment. Once upon a time there were two MC 275's in this cabinet back in the late 60's and to the middle 70's. The cabinet I purchased in early 69 and it has been reconfigured and refinished three times.

The HT system the Processor I purchased in 2017 the tuner is 30 years old, the turntable a year old as is the cartridge, the crossovers are 50 years old, the speakers are close to 50 or over 50 years old, the amps though identical aren't the same age. One is 15 years old the other 18 months, the 3 equalizers are 48 years old as our the crossovers, the CD player is 5 years old the MVP player is 8 yers old. The CD player also feeds the stereo system and the phono pre-amp also feeds the CD recorder, and the HT system. The C-34 also feeds the HT system. So anything played on the Stereo can be listened to on the HT system. But not
the other way around. There is a new addition, too but I haven't photographed it yet. Its about 16 years old. The Crown EQ's are used as speaker EQ for the HT system as our the UREI electronic crossovers.
