Power amplifier to replace McIntosh MC302
Looking for amplifier to replace McIntosh MC302 as amplifier would have thermal issues on 8 ohm tap which sounded better than the 4 ohm tap. After 2 hours playing music with meters between 30-300 watt , power guard lights start to flash , with fins on amplifier hot enough to burn fingers.
Maybe Bryston 4B cubed would work better? Also seen reviews that the Red Dragon M1000 Mk ll amplifiers work well.
Seems more power the better with Magnepan 1.7i
Besides models I mentioned, any other power amplifiers I should look at?
