McCormack DNA500 a good amp? CJ-like?
Considering CJ makes the McCormack amps, thought id ask this question here. (btw, AA really needs an amp/preamp forum). I am looking for a good value amp for a pair of revel Salon 2s. I am close to going with either a Levinson 532h or McIntosh 452 (both used), but came across some incredible reviews of the DNA500. Anyone here heard them and can offer an opinion or comparison to other high end amps? Good choice for the Salons? Thanks for indulging here on CJ forum.

I know of someone with a pair of DNA-750's powering Vandersteen 5's and LOVES them.

The DNA750's are an awesome value. Downright cheap when compared to almost anything else. They should be taken very seriously.

The 750's available from spearit sound for much lower than their retail price. Truth is I dont know how good they are compared to DNA 500, which seems to have a small but cult-like following, and there isnt much info on them. Also, i just think that kind of power is overkill, and the 500 would be more than enough and cheaper still. Anyone heard either and can comment?
