I think the implementation is flawless, looks like a great way to bi-amp your setup and play around with cross-over to your liking! Absolute BEAST TOO!
I’d LOVE to own something like this, but in a smaller, lighter package. If they made one, or if PS Audio made one, I’d be all over it! Kudos to McIntosh to even attempt such unique approach!
If anyone’s had a chance to audition these, pls add your impressions!
That’s the issue. It’s great for ones with deep pockets and massive audio rooms but not for majority of other. Give me the same functionality, a solid state of 300W, a Tube of 100W around 50 pounds and I’m all in. I seriously haven’t heard better mid and highs than best Tubes, and better bass than with best solid states. So a combo could literally be the perfect amplifier. Key is cross over and matching harmonics which they might have been able to manage.
