MC1.2K and MC601
Considering expanding my Mac kit for greatly enhanced 2-channel listening. I have an exceptional opportunity to acquire new MC1.2K amps and a new C2600. Was previously considering an MC452 or MC601s. Have not heard the MC 1.2Ks, nor will have that chance prior to purchase, and wish to know if anyone can share their thoughts how these compare to the NC601s and MC452 with the C2600 (or equivalent).

As great as the 1.2s are, the 601s are fabulous as well. For the money, the 601s are tough to beat !

How about relative power needs. I’ve got 2 dedicated power lines. On one I’m using a PS Audio P10 for several components. I would not expect the P10 to be able to accommodate a pair of MC1.2KW or MC601 amps with all the other components on the one power line it’s on. Is that correct?

I would not want to run them both through a single P10. It would trip it frequently.
