I compared twin MC275s and an MC452 on my Strads and loved the midrange of the MC275s and the control and speed of the MC452. The MC2301s will give you both.
Craig.......I get it now. I didn't realize you were advising me on a second pair of 2301's. Through the years the living room sound system has morphed into a number of different configurations. The last amplifier change, 601's replaced by the MC452, was because of space considerations for the current system equipment setup. There is no room for a pair of mono blocks that require separate shelves. The space where the MC452 currently resides will house a pair of MC75's quite nicely, so there would be no need for abandoning the system as it is presently setup. I get what you are telling me, though. No doubt about it, a pair of MC2301's would be killer, but I believe a pair of MC75's will get the job done should I decide to pull that trigger.
