McIntosh amps with the autoformers, like the MA8900, are rated at the same power regardless of the speaker's impedance. With their non-autoformer amps, like the MA5300, they do have a higher power rating at the lower impedance. Either should be fine.


I read in stereophile that INT-60 made .7 sounded too rounded and soft. Also read that XA200.8 made Wilson Alexia sounded loose in the bass. But it sure sounded sweet and musical.
Quite interested in Ma5300 too, but then I will need areasonably good streamer to connect to it, may be Node 2i, SoTM 200 Neo, Cambridge CXNV2 or Azure 851N
