Many thanks for the welcome!

I must agree with you; upon my first demo of the 800 Diamond, I was left speechless. Maybe one day.....:drool:

Ivan, thank you so much again. You have done an incredible job with putting together such an extensive network with great people.

jdandy, thank you for the kind words. I'm honored to be here.

Welcome Patrick! :wave:

The MC501's are wonderful amps for almost everyone. I'm a power monger, so I chose 1.2KW's lots of them.

It really is not fair to compare a 500 watt amp with a 1200 watt amp.

:wave:Hi Patrick,

I had 501's on my XRT1K's and they are a terrific amp. After a year or so, I purchased the Mc1.2KW's. Power is a beautiful thing.:thumbsup:

Hi, all. I'm new here so I just wanted to say "hello."

I'm more or less a lightweight as an audio aficionado. My main (okay, only) system consists of a McIntosh MA7000 (that recently replaced a 6900), Thiel CS2.4 speakers, and run-of-the-mill CD and DVD players. I do have a Nakamichi DR-2 deck that I keep around to remind me of the good old days.

Thanks for all of the great advice. I look forward to becoming more active here as I shake my shyness about not being too well-versed in the lingo of the audio aficionado.
