Default Update from c47 to c2600
Hi there, just to share. Finally updated my c47 to the new c2600. The result?
Uau!!!
It is a new system!!! Especially the bass is now much more powerful and alive, and the Sound is so analogic, totally different, warmer, better I would say.
I was not sure if my Mc302 would match with the c2600, you know, solid+valve?. But it does great!!!
Nothing against the c47, I did enjoy it a lot, but I find it now too accurate, too exact, almost cold.
Anyway happy with the new McIntosh toy!!!
BR

SS + Valves is a great combination especially if you were looking to move from a ‘cold’ presentation.

Congrats and enjoy!

Congratulations! I had the same kind of revelation when I went from Mc solid state to my C2500. However,



Let's see that system! Enjoy in good health.

C2X00 pre with a SS amp is very common here. Great choice, enjoy!

Congratulations as well. I also had a MC302 with the C2300 ( earlier version of the C2600 ) for 10 years when using Martin Logan speakers.

When I switched to Magnepan MG1.7i , switched out MC302 for Bryston 4Bł as it had better synergy with Magnepan's.

Tube preamp with solid state power amp always worked well with McIntosh ))))

Felicitaciones Fercho! Quite an upgrade indeed, the 2600 is a tough one to beat.
