I can only speak personally about MC452 vs modern MC275. I believe I gave up some low-end crispness (452) but really enjoy the midrange vocals and presence that the 275 (with rolled tubes) give me. I don't listen loudly so that's an important caveat. If you truly need MC601's dynamic range not sure MC275's will work - MC2301's mentioned above would be my recommendation if you need >100 watts frequently
