Classe Delta Mono vs. Mcintosh MC611
Hello, I was wondering if anyone out there has been able to listen to both McIntosh MC611 and Classe Delta Mono amps. I have heard the MC611 on the smaller B&W 805D4 and it sounded great with the C2700 pre.
I stayed with the Classe Pre as I like the base management options and the physical dimensions were better for my setup. (Need to set on top shelf and not block TV. The McIntosh was like 2x as tall)
When it comes to the Classe Mono, I like the massive transformers and technical capabilities, but the fan and the way the power meter is lit only from above and not back lit is a little bit of a turn off. The way it function doesn't look that great.
I was unable to demo the Classe Mono in store as it wasn't on display. Mcintosh meter functions and looks a little better and no fan. Any thoughts? Would it be weird to pair a Classe Pre with McIntosh Amps?
Additional details:
Preamp: Classe Delta Pre
Speakers: Paradigm S6, soon to be B&W 804D4.
