Bit the bullet! Just upgraded from vintage to MVP861, MC402 and C47! I’m nuts...
I loved my c28, mr77 and 2105 setup. Loved it! No idea why I did this. Will I be happy?😂. Haven’t gotten the 402 yet, has to be shipped from Houston. C47 is in the House with the CD player. Interested to see about this balanced thing people talk about. And checking with Ivan on the rack handles, if I can afford them at this point!

What are your speakers? The 402 is a great amplifier. You should be very happy with your setup.

Speakers are bowers CM6 2s. I don’t have a large space. The 402 will be overkill I’m afraid!

You can't overkill. IMHO the amp is as or more important than speakers. I used to demo mid-level Paradigm & Klipsch speakers with that amp. You are going to be in audio heaven.

Congrats to you on bringing home some very nice gear. I've also gone from vintage Mac gear over the past couple years to more modern Mcintosh gear and I can assure you that you're in for a treat.

Thanks! Really want rack handles...useless but cool. Maybe not useless considering the heft of the sucker

Bit the bullet again! Just put down a deposit on the rack handles.

I really use the Ivan rack handles on my MC 602. They are a necessity and look much better than the original McIntosh handles.
You’re in for a real treat. While the old McIntosh SS stuff is loved by many, to my ears the newer gear sounds way better. Enjoy! Tom
