Then to MC601's which I had for a few pair of speakers. I tried two MC275 v6 which sounded better with two than one - putting in better tubes did improve the performance but not enough for me so I sold the MC275's and kept the MC601's. I then went to MC2301's to power my SF Strads which was my preferred set up so far. Upgrading the tubes in these amps also improved my performance. The last upgrade I made was to purchase 2 more new MC601's that were made while McIntosh was making the MC901's. These sounded much better to me than the older MC2301's especially with upgraded tubes.
That was my experience but they are all gone now.
Thanks for the reply Paul. Your MC2301's where the amps I had in mind. I followed your listing (speakers included) until everything was moved on.

Hopefully your downsized system will bring you many years of joy and happiness.
