Freddie, that's a great review. I totally agree, that the 1502 is a fabulous amp both in appearance and sonics. I am sure that if measured it would do at least 180w/ch. Unlike many tube amps Mac specs are minimum specs. This fact goes way back to the foundation of the company. My father ran a pair of Bozak Concert Grands with a MC225 (25 w/ch). Concert Grands had (4) 12" woofers, (2) 6" mids, and (8) tweeters in a cabinet known as an infinite baffle design. Really incredible. As a kid I would listen for hours at levels as high as I wanted. I never remember hearing anything but beautiful music. I think you will find that your 1502 will drive your Cantons to any level you desire.
Regarding the Sentry Monitor issue, I will ask my Mac friend about it. I have not experienced anything like this with my 3500's. What kind of power conditioner are you using? I use one Niagara 5000 per amp and a 20 amp line per amp. Total of three.
Best
Charles
