I am seriously considering the MA12000. I currently have (& love) an MA8900, but Im thinking the MA12000 may be a significant step up with the increase in power & the tube pre-amp stage. Couple of questions for anyone that may have first hand experience with the MA12000...
-Those tubes look pretty tucked into the unit, when it comes time for replacement I wonder if that will be a hassle? Would one go in from the top, the front...or just have to send it in to McIntosh for service...I skimmed the manual & didn't see any recommended instructions to replace the tubes?
-Any of you have any feedback on the direct comparison of the MA12000 with either the MA8900 or MA9000? Small step up or Big step up in sound quality?
Thanks All!
