Yes. Search this forum for ‘A Triad of McIntosh Tube Magic’

Did try a pair of MC275s as monoblocks, but found the single MC275 to sound better to my ears.

A pair of MC 2102’s as monoblocks run bridged, not parallel, will come close to an MC 2301, which is far better than an MC 275 or a pair of MC 275’s, which cannot be easily run bridged. I have not had the pleasure of auditioning new production MC 75’s, but I understand they sound like the 2301’s.
I sold the 2102’s as the MC 275 sounded better as a stereo amplifier.

Thank´s for your help, friends,
I´m looking for a power amp to match with my C500 T. I've read in this forum about the excellence of a pair of 75´s (I remember a graeat jdandy´s thread ), but here in Spain are quite impossible to find. A 2102 has appeared at my reliable dealer, so I´m doubting between this 2102, a new 275 or persist with the search of a pair of 75´s Will the 75´s be manufactured again ? This could be the perfect solution to my "problem"..... |

I’ve tried 225,275 and 2301 with my c500p. 225 wins for mids/highs but 2301 is an all around performer. Speaker match with amp is critical as you know.
