Loved this vid! Just a heads up, that "toggle for the binding posts" can be used to release the bolts from the bottom of the amp...just flip it over. I stopped by on your channel because it was called, "the listening post" So, he vid was bit incomplete for me. I would have been interested to see you hook up the amp to speakers and amps / pre...then turn it on... This would have resulted in covering other details not covered in this vid Overall, though, great presentation, and informational post.
Thanks Mike. We don't do any listeing becasue you woudl be hearing my mic, camera, RU-vid and your phones / compouters speakers. I always try and encourage people to audition HiFi in a store.
@@TLPCHC understood my friend. I agree our listening experience would be hindered by our equipment. However, if i always listen on the same limited equipment - i would still hear differences in youtube presentations. But, yes, internet listening is fraught with lots of pitfalls :) I visited my local dealer for my recent acquisitions, though. Its a far better judge of what a system CAN soundlike. Its own limitations notwithstanding - different rooms, different cables, different sources..etc. thank you for the work you've done here. Very enjoyable to watch and experience.
It's time for Macintosh to come out with a hybrid amp. With today's technology in 2022, we should not need two steong men to remove an amp from a box and lift it on a platform to be used in a stereo rack that can take this weight. I heard this amp and this is one of the best amps I have ever heard. In comparison the Mac MC152 has a slightly tighter sound with the same quality Mac sound. I liked the bigger sound stage this amp. The details are outstanding and the bass is very big and solid.
Hello, I would like to get a pair of B&W 805 D3 speakers and use McIntosh MC312 Power Amplifier and C52 Pre amplifier. Do you think that this MC312 amp is too powerful for these 805 speakers or will it work fine? If it is, can you suggest what I should use. Thanks.
@@TLPCHC Thanks for reaching out. Do you see any issues with the amount of wattage the amp is rated for vs these speakers? Any experiences with Anthem's STR Pre & Power amplifier. It is a 400W at 8 ohms and I could pick these up for less than the McIntosh. Thanks.
@@TLPCHC believe me the Macintosh is more than enough for those wonderful speakers they under rate the wattage you’ll be in heaven with that combination
Currently we have the C312 driving a pair of DynAudio X44's for a BIG sounding system, with lots of scale and bass control. And the MC-2152 running a pair of DynAudio C1's
