I have noticed a slight reduction in bass presence compared to my previous Pathos Inpol2 when switching to the MC275LE mono's but the midrange magic more than makes up for it. I am using the 8 ohm output taps. I found the 4 ohm tap to not sound as well in the midrange and the benefit in bass was marginal.
The Pathos was great on bass and on solidity of image but I was just missing something which has been filled by the tube power.
Perhaps I will be ready to part with my "bronze babies"
someday for two MC2301.
