Default P-7300 with McIntosh C53 preamp

Hello everybody,

I am now running a McIntosh Combo C-53-Mc462 on my Boenicke w11.

These speakers are terrific but are very hungry. They made for instance a Gryphon Diablo 250 sweat up to burn the fuse, overheat etc...

I am quite happy with the sound, soundstage is amazing, bass are very good etc..., i am really enjoying my system, but not a big fan of this Mc Look and i think Accuphase is much more well built. (before this e-260 i had a e-205 for more than 30 years)

but... as Accuphase lover, i have a small e-260 on my second system driving Old Cabasse Clipper II

I have now an opportunity to catch a P-7300 for a nice price, but will have to keep the C-53 for the moment. As it is a second hand and the seller is 150km away, i won't be able to test it on site.

My Question are:

1. Will the p-7300 have enought power to drive these boenicke w11, (sensitivity around 86db, impedence can drop up to 2ohm)

2. Does Mcintosh pream matches Acuphase Power amp?

I ran for a while my small E-260 on these speakers, sound was nice but it clearly missed power to make the speakers give their best.

What do you think?

Have nice day
