I considered the new MA12000 integrated, but decided that I wanted to try a different flavor. The fact that the Boulder weighs only half of what the MA12000 does didn’t hurt either. I’m not going to make any claims about 866 being in a totally different league or blowing the McIntosh components away. I definitely enjoyed my years with Mac. But I am sitting here listening with a bigger smile on my face.
Good for you - congratulations!

Overall, I consider Boulder the next level compared to McIntosh. While at the same time being rather different in terms och presentation and characteristics.
