UPDATE: So I called my dealer, who suggested the C2300's problem might be a blown fuse. Home Depot has them; he could order it from McIntosh as well. I took the fuse out of the C2300, but it looks perfectly fine. An e-mail went off to McIntosh, who responded today, suggesting I take it to the dealer. So as soon as I can round up transportation the C2300 goes back into the box, to the store and, quite possibly, to McIntosh.
Fortunately, the LS3 is here. I won't be without. This will give the LS3 an opportunity to "break in" again; I suspect some of the brightness (which I don't remember hearing previously) is due to it having been unplugged for several months.
