I have never owned or auditioned one, so I am speaking only of hearsay. It is good to know of your first hand experience with both integrated amplifiers. From what you have described, it sounds like the Cary SLI-80 Signature is quite the performer. I am happy you are so pleased with its sound and looks. At a retail price of $4300.00 it seems to be an exceptional value.

A friend of mine ... just bought a "se" version, with BLUE colour faceplate. He's very happy with it since collected it last weekend. As for the MA2275, think a C22/MC75 60th Anniversary version would be better in every other way. Thats how I feel. BUT then, the costs is way more .....
