Default C2600 inbound

I sold my MC-252 and MC-207 and bought a MC-462 and C2600. I have wanted a C2600 for a L-O-N-G time but timing was always off as far as getting one. Lately I had been holding out to see if a newer model (C2700) came out, but got sick of waiting so decided to bite the bullet.

I have quite a bit of Mc-Stuff, but the C2600 is going to be used with 1.2KW's and Wilson Alexia 2's. I was using a MX-150 as I needed the digital inputs (long story) and will probably keep this in place and use the passthrough functionality.

Everything should show up within the next ~2 weeks...

Only tube stuff I have is in two MX-A60's. Any advice from fellow C2600 users would be appreciated!

IM3CPO-

As a 2500 owner, the 2600 is a great choice. Combined with the rest of your system you have a lot of nice sounds ahead.

Moving from a solid state pre amp to tubed pre amp made a huge difference in my listening pleasure.

Excellent combination (MC1.2KW/C2600), and with those speakers . . . Enjoy.
