Great review! Though I have to say, other than the measurements (which are great), the review really only shows how great the MC462 pairs with Harbeth or B&W speakers. The B&W sounded like were on loan and new to the reviewer. It's really hard to do any comparison when they don't keep their speakers, preamps, etc. consistent across their amp reviews. Don't get me wrong, it is a great read and a good data point.
In my opinion, McIntosh + B&W sounds great. B&W speakers tend to be on the brighter side. It would be awesome for them to try pairing the MC462 with equivalent sized warmer sounding speaker. That would make an awesome review/comparison, at least for me.
