MC611 Club
 

Guys here is the start of the MC611 Club. I am new to this but extremely excited to a part of such a great group of audio lovers! Would love to get as many people to join as possible. Below is a picture of my current rack set up. I will be connecting all my gear this weekend and will report back on how it all sounds. Thank you for reading and joining in on the fun

Looks great! I just purchased 2 - MC611's myself and should be here in a couple weeks.

Which audio rack do you have? Looks like carbon shelf?

Thanks
Mike

Congrats! Very nice!
I also recently added 611s and B&W 802D3. Love the combination.
I am currently have the Marantz 8805A as preamp for music and movies. Next step is to add a good preamp for 2 channels which also has a HT passthrough, and am looking at either the C52 or C2600.

and here is a pic of my 611s and 802d3. :music:

Beautiful!!! Looks great man. I’m jealous of the 802’s. I wish I could have went with them but unfortunately they wouldn’t fit in my space. How are you liking it so far?

Thanks! Love the 802d3...and paired with 611s, it seems my room expands with greater sound stage, clarity and presence. Music nirvana :music:

I love your Basso Continuo stands...they are gorgeous with the MACs

nice folks, congrats on the 611s!

Looks great! I was leaning towards the 802 but the wife like the looks of the Focal Kanta better and since the term happy wife happy ect... I went with the kanta2 without hearing them. They showed up Friday afternoon and Friday Evening I found out the Kanta3 was released so I trying to exchange and hope for the best.

Just wanted to share a pic of my setup as well.

Very nice! I think I see Bryston SP4 in your rack (replacing your Mac processor in your previous picture?). How do you like the SP4 in 2 channels mode? Bryston is a great brand and their warranty / service is top notch; I own the 9BST amp for 18+ years and it is still going strong, and it currently drives my B&W Center and surrounds. Over the last 18 years, I needed to change 2 channels because they went bad; I sent to Bryston who replaced quickly each time.

When I bought the 802D3, I was thinking about pairing them with Bryston 7B3s but my dealer only had the 4b3 for audition. After extended audition time with 4b3 and MC611s, and MC452s, I decided to go with MC611s to drive the 802D3s.

I currently have the Marantz 8805A for pre-amp and surround processor. I am looking at a dedicated Pre-Amp which can be used as pass-through to the 8805A, and am looking at C52 or C2600. Would appreciate your thoughts on the SP4 as 2 channels pre-amp and/or as surround processor.

Thanks.
