Well maybe it does add up ... chalk up another one to overall system synergy but with respect to C1100 and 601, the combination is right as rain in the context of my system.
I agree it doesn't seem right especially since I've really liked the sound of the 601's with other tube McIntosh preamps. That said ... got the same impression at both locations with lots of different speakers over the past couple of months. I'll probably give it another listen months down the road when I'm ready for a pre ... it should be well broken in by then for sure.
