I know I would love the MC452...but I'm afraid that the MC601s would always be a nagging "what if?". |

It is all in the listen. If your dealer cannot demo the 462 and 611 back to back, find another dealer. Then listen and decide for yourself. That said, I do prefer two M 75 mono blocks over an M 275

How many 452’s are left? I thought McIntosh did their last build of these a month ago?

I guess it is hard to put a number on it % wise, but they are more alike than not alike. So outside of the power edge, maybe a tad more better black.. aka a smidgen less noise, but not that the 452 makes any noise. I also think the tonal quality is about 95% the same, maybe the biggest diff is i think the 601s seem to be a little more 3d in terms of hearing the placement of the instruments in the band while playing. Again both great choices, I really do not think you would hear a lot of diff, and I totally get where you are coming from. Are you thinking maybe what about a used set of 601s? anyone here got any for sale? Now as I said before, but a lot more $$$ and if I was in a better place like 3 years ago, i would sell my 601s and go tube amps. Good luck, I know it is agonizing buddy! |

If you are contemplating tubes perhaps a pair of MC275’s.

Yes, I was thinking of a used set of MC601s, but am still a ways off, financially. Your comment was a good reminder that I still need to subscribe to the forum, though. I know that miatadan, with the MC462 vs MC611s, or I, can't really go wrong, either way. |
