As I said I own both ARC and Mcintosh. ARC has a cleaner sound. Overall I give the edge to big Blue because I like the warm lush sound of Mcintosh. Mcintosh sold state amps sound more tubey than ARCs tube amps. And I have no intention of getting rid of my ARC equipment.
Reference 80S. Beautiful Amp. When the Mcintosh group owned ARC the look of their Amps really improved.
