I'm seriously considering scaling back from 5.1 to a two channel system.
Some options are:
1) MDA1000 --> C2300 --> MC501's
2) MDA1000 --> C2300 --> (1 or 2) MC2102's
3) MDA1000 --> MC2301's
I'd love to hear your comments!

I am not a tube guy but I could live with the 2301's.
Why are there not more out there?
1) Not a huge market for +$20k amps
2) They are big and heavy.
3) Some people really believe that old stuff sounds better than new product. Innovation only stands still in audio.
4) Replacing those tubes at some point in the future is going to cost someone a chunk of change.
