Hi guys,
I have a question about a image that I have been searching for of the MC-611's pictured with Anthony Gallo 3.5 speakers. It was either somewhere on this site or it was a review posted somewhere on-line about the MC-611's. Has anybody seen this review? I'm starting to think I imaged it. Thanks Sandman |

I have the 803 d3 with Bryston 4b3 and always wondered how big the difference would be if I went with MC 611? Very interesting to read that you experienced that the difference was small? Do you remember any specific differencies? My next step will be 802D3 and/or different amplification. Thanks Johannes |

Typical example: the AQ Diamond USB cable vs. a Shunyata Sigma USB which has recently upgraded and now costs 2,000.00. I would not consider this cable because it is not part of my sound signature even though I am sure it is a fantastic cable. I am happy with my Diamond and would never introduce it into my AQ signature. If I had one piece of advice I would recommend to choose your gear very carefully based on sound signatures. Mac has a particular sound. Dags have a particular sound, etc. Choose gear that is synergistic and stick within your sound signatures. Going from one manufacturer to another, that's not for me. There is so much of this type of thing that goes on, I am sure it makes the manufacturers very happy. I change brands of speaker. Now I have a different sound and now I might need another amp that works better and I buy the amp but now I need new cables that work better with amp and so on. In the end you don't know what you got or what you have accomplished so then you add an equalizer to make everything "perfect". |

From my recollection of the audition of the 4B3 and MC611, the differences are minor. It’s just that the MC611s are, to my ears, better matched with the 802D3 with slightly better soundstage and the voices sound more natural versus the 4B3. But the differences are very small. Another reason I went with the MC611 is that I want to make sure I have ample power to drive the 802D3. I also listened to the 803D3, and I thought there is definitely a big step up with the 802D3. If budget allows, I would suggest you audition the 802D3 with the MC611 and the 7B3, and decide. Thanh

Hi Thank you for this information and I definately will try out Mcintosh later and probably with the 802d3. I love my 803 d3 but sometimes I wonder how an even bigger speaker would do to the overall experience |
