Lars you heard my Strads. with the MC501's. The MC2301's are wonderful tube amps. and a terrific option. If you don't want tubes a new pair of MC601's (if you can find any) or the new MC611's will keep you happy for years to come. Since I bought my MC501's everything else in my system has been changed and 9 years later I have no desire to replace them. Solid state Mcintosh amps. will give you slam bass of the two Strad. subwoofers, plenty of detail, full sound even at low volume levels , run cool and drive easily any speakers you end up with the next 10-20 years. If you don't plan on getting into vinyl just use the Directstream as your pre amp.
