Yep will do - that’s the plan at least... |

I had Ref 5SE with 2301s. Sounded great but had significant probs when trying to add subs so ended up replacing with 2500 then c500p which has been a really nice combo. Stay Ref or stay MC on pre/amp components I say. Been interested in c1100 but have other priorities at the moment.

I have MC1201, B&W 800 D2 paired with NAT Magnetic pre-amp. Very satisfied how it all works together.

From what I’ve read the Mac and Ref would probably be my best options - I’ve only thrown the Ref in there as a number of people have been really impressed by this combo. I’m hoping however that the Mac wins in the sense that I’ll keep the green machine consistent... Thanks for the comments |

Something to think about. Here in the states, the Luxman 900 is not much more expensive than the c1100. The Luxman is a step above most preamps.

I’m not sure my dealer has this option but will check - thanks for the thoughts...

I moved from a C2300 to C500T to C1100. Each move represented a significant upgrade in quality. The C1100 made the biggest improvement of all. It’s incredibly quiet and the soundstage is very deep and wide.

Thanks for the post - out of interest is there a preferred approach to setting up the two units (ie side by side or stacked)? Most of the pictures seem to show stacked on top of each other but space could be an enemy for me...

With C1100 you will get: bigger sound stage, a lot of details, more natural sound, more focus on vocals.
