Interesting thread! I have an MA8900 in the house and have been experimenting with it and my Elipsas SE's for a few days. I have only used the 4 ohm taps so far, but I love what I am hearing. Most definitely *not* bright. In fact, the Mc sounds more tube-like than my tube amp! I am seriously considering the purchase of the McIntosh to replace my PrimaLuna integrated. I will try the 8 ohm tap next and report back with my findings, although unless I am mistaken the Elipsas do drop all the way to 2.4 ohms in the lower frequencies....
