Default New amp
Picked up a new Mc462 about 2 weeks ago. Loving it so far. Really makes my Sopra 3's command the room with absolutely no harshness. I'm using my NAD M12 preamp and they seem to go together perfectly. No loss of detail compared to my old NAD M22 amp, despite having a much fuller and warmer sound.

Thanks, also I was able to hide my Niagara 1000 with some creative reorganizing. I did find the amp sounded far better direct to wall. Everything else is going through the Niagara. 20190616_124841.jpeg20190618_210035.jpeg20190618_210048.jpeg

Thanks guys, I was a little nervous about how it would come together, but I'm extremely pleased.
