Sounds better than the McIntosh, eh?

[spurv]

Only One set.

I love my mc1.2kw, have not heard m6200, but the P6100 was amazing. Less punch but more of everything Else,not as bold as mcintosh. Voices are spot on. Everything is so separate with acchuphase. For me its a New way to listen to music. Det

Cool, sounds good. I've heard the M-6000, but not the P-6100. I bet the P-6100 sounds fantastic in its own right.

Hello
I am (not) new to this forum …… as a regular reader I have been enjoying the knowledge and the discussions in this forum already some time.

Currently the upgrade bug is biting me. Having been Mac for a long time I would be ready to venture deeper into Accuphase territory after the DG48, but not sure if this would really make sense.

Comes along the M-6200 which looks really great and which could be the amp I would like to have. In my quest I have also spotted 2 used A 200 (about 2 years old) for about half sticker price but no warranty. Price wise that would even be better than a M-6200 new. Specs look very similar.

Among the questions I am asking myself are:
Would a pair of M-6200 / A200 be a real improvement over the MC501 or possibly the MC601, leaving all other components in place for the time being, i.e. would a C500/P combine well with any of them (sure the C3800 would be better, but that’s something for the future)? Also, I am quite happy with integrated phono stage of the C500/P which makes it more difficult to part ways.
What about heat issues for the A200 or Accuphase Class A in a rack (open to the rear and side)?
Would you think that the M-6200/A 200 are a good match for the B&W 802 Diamond speakers? Both amps have sufficient power however but would one be a better match ?

Unfortunately it would not be possible to hear any of them at home, therefore your ideas and thoughts would be most helpful.

Thanks very much

The Accuphase Class A amps are very musical. I auditioned the E600 at home and found it as musical as the Shindo set up I had before. In terms of heat, I could rest my hand on top no problem.

My dealer said Class A is where Accuphase excels. The M-6200 is not that much more powerful. And it's Class A/B. Heat wise, my distributor said I'll have no problem with the A-200 in my 10.5' x 12' room. I have the C-3850 and A-200 at home, but haven't set them up yet. So I don't know yet.

Thanks Tommy C, yes, when staying within the AB class a change might make less sense although I would expect more detail and soundstage compared to the Mc 501. The difference between the A200 and theM-6200 (newer) might be more subtle. Regarding heat I am not so much concerned about the room but rather the heating up in the stand, where the blocks would sit on the lower shelf with just 2.5 inches clearance above although free to the rear and one side.
