Anyone Running MC275 Monoblocks with SHL5s?
I am looking for opinions on anyone that has used an MC275 monoblock set up with SHL5s. I have been wanting more power for sometime, I have even considered the MC312 or MC462 to prepare for a speaker upgrade in the future. I am just not sure about how the change in amps will affect the overall sound.
My system make up is VPI Scoutmaster, DV XX-2, C2300, MC275 and Harbeth SHL5. Any opinions are welcome. Thanks. |
MarSanz.......Look for a clean pre-owned MC452. The C2300 and the MC452 are wonderful together. That will provide you with all the power you will ever need no matter what speaker you wish to drive.

I've just purchased a 275/vi to use with a pair of DeVore O/96 I have on order.
While I wait for the speakers, I am breaking it in by swapping out a pair of MC301s I have for sale and using it with a pair of Sonus Faber Elipsa and a C70. I found the sound of the 301s and 275 to be very similar. The 301s seem to have a bit more controlled bass but that could just be the additional power on tap. I only have experience with autoformer based MC amps, can't say how the other MC amps compare. |

I think you’ll be okay, that is one of the reasons I also acquired a second amp. Plus I’ve always wished to one day have a dual amp system now I’m glad I did. I believe you will also.

McIntosh + Harbeth 40.2

Nice setup hdbc, with two 501’s has to sound “sweet”. Thanks for the comparison information, When I heard 40’s for the first time I remember thinking “this can easily be an end game speaker” My SHL’s have recently passed on to another lucky person and I miss them already. Not sure what the future will bring but Harbeth will definitely be on my radar. Probably the best sounding speaker I’ve owned.
