Default New amp on the horizon.

I have been running McIntosh MC275 amplifiers for 5 years now, two of them running mono. After some arm twisting from my friend Marc I will be moving to a Audio Research GS150 very soon, should arrive mid next week. Honestly he didn't have to twist too hard.

Did you find a buyer for the MC275s yet? I would think those would sell fairly quickly.

He’s a bad influence from what I hear.
