Finally up and running!
Guys,
The MA9000 is a HUGE winner IMHO. I've played it with my new Klipsch Forte's all weekend and it sounds amazing. I have zero regrets downsizing my system to this beautiful integrated. Personally, I think it sounds better than the 7000 or even 8000 I once owned. Do I miss my C2600 and MC601's combo? Sure. But I think the 9000 is about as close you will get with an integrated amplifier. I'm REALLY looking forward to breaking it in over the next few coming months. I wish I could play hooky from work tomorrow! If you are considering downsizing your system to an integrated amp or just looking to dip your toe into the McIntosh pond, you MUST have a listen to the 9000. Attachment 51854 . .

Jon.......What a fine looking sound system. That new MA9000 looks astonishing. Bet it sounds that way, too.

Such a pleasing sight as you have equipment displayed. Bet the wattage from the gorgeous MA9000 drives those Forte III's with ease.
Best Sir, Bob

Jon once again you have setup another great system for your enjoyment. In the short time that I have been posting in this forum, it has been wonderful to see the changes that you have made. All the best.
