Yep. With a new amp & new speakers this year I'm hoping my lump of coal at least turns into a new TT mat.

That is a cool amp.
Now they need to offer a stereo model with 75wpc tube/150wpc solid-state.

Well that amp looks amazing! I was actually happy with my MC275 feeding my Amati Futura’s. I will have two MC275’s to run in mono (hopefully soon) but this amps 450 watts is a lot of tube / SS power. My 601’s are overkill

I predict we will see these in a number of member systems. Hopefully mine among them, at some point.

I must admit I love my 601's but these amps have me intrigued. Just plan beautiful.

It certainly is a nice looking amp but I am not likely to get a pair. It was enough setting up my 611's at my age two years ago. Not sure I could survive these....!

Really nice.

Found this - https://www.mcintoshlabs.com/products/hybriddrive - scroll to the middle page and keep on scrolling your mouse. It has really nice graph on how it works in high level.
