Tom.......A most enjoyable Tuesday morning read. Thank you. Like many of the above posters, I have also owned the MC275, well actually three MC275's. The first one I ran in stereo, and the second two I ran in mono. The mono MC275's delivered an improvement in dynamics and bass slam over the stereo set up.
Although I have not owned the MC2102 I have listened to it in a set up with Quad speakers. I was very impressed with the way it sounded, although I never was able to embrace its look with the small meters and the big tube window.
I now own a pair of MC2301 amplifiers that drive Sonus faber Amati Anniversario speaker. For me, this is a match made in heaven. The MC2301 delivers a thoroughly convincing performance across the full frequency spectrum, and has dynamic range reserves to spare. The MC2301 amplifiers are my final McIntosh amplifier purchases. They truly are amplifiers built for a lifetime.
