Thoughts? McIntosh C26/Denon POA1500/Kef Q350

Hi y’all! I just got a McIntosh C26 and a Denon POA 1500 serviced and will be pairing them to a set of new Kef Q350’s. I haven’t used all three together yet and would love to see what you guys think about that setup. Would you expect them to mesh well and perform strongly? I listen to a ton of genres and won’t be blasting them too loud since I just moved into an apartment building. Thank you!

Hi jgduck. I am sorry that I cant help you with ur setup but you can really help me.

I am rebuilding damaged a Denon POA 1500 and I need to make a new input board PCB (that one with two Noble potentiometers).

If you still got him could you help me with few photos of this PCB from both sides? I also need dimensions of this PCB.
It will be good enough when you put a mesure to both edges of this PCB and take a photo

service manual does not give this data so I really need your help ;)

Best regards from Poland :)
 
Sorry to say the C26 is designed to be used with amplifiers having input impedance of 47K ohm or greater while the Denon POA 1500 has input impedance of only 18K and 25K (at the high cut filter input) which is well below. The load mismatch will likely result in frequency response irregularities.

In short, not an ideal match between the units in question.
