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.

I use a pair of MC275’s MKVI with my C500T. It is driving a pair of Focsl Scalas and a pair of REL G1’s. I am sure the 2301 will win a head to head comparison but I have had no desire to spend the cost of the upgrade. There is something very special about the 275’s. There is no other amp in the world with that kind of longevity. The 2301 will be replaced but the 275 will carry on.
The MC75 are wonderful but inadequate for my speakers and I believe they are out of production now. Good luck and good listening. Mike S. |
