Still...

What I mentioned before....

Sometimes I have the impression that for a big lot of people a magnificent looking equipment is more important than a magnificent sound, although the magnificent looking sounds already quite good, but who am I.
But try it only one time is all I can say and notice the difference.

Hello Everyone! I'm an amateur audiophile, and officially a member of the McIntosh family I just purchased a gorgeous MC2505 and MX115 combo for $1200, which are currently in the shop getting spruced up and ready to go I'm interested in what everyone's favorite speaker pairing is with this setup, though I imagine I need more posts to gain new thread privileges, so here I am.

Azbiker, absolutely beautiful system and room. Bet it sounds even better. Wilson and Mac an excellent match. Synergistic with each other; great choices for gear. No sub tells me the bass must be fantastic. Look at the volume of the bass cabinet. Massive. Enjoy to the fullest.

Best

Charles

Another exemplary audio system. There should be a special thread for such, few and far apart.

Charles, thanks for your kind words. I know your fine system takes the sound of mine even further. I am very happy with the bass sound of the Alexia series 2's for 2 channel. I do have a 12" JL Audio sub tucked away in the corner that is up to the task of providing extra base for multichannel listening. Totally forgot about it! Thanks again!
