I'd like to congratulate all the new 3500 owners. It's by far the most powerful tube amplifier available today. It drives my XVX to insane levels with ease. The XVX is a massive speaker with a minimum impedance of 1.6 ohms. Run off the 4-ohm tap I have the best bass I have ever heard. The resolution in the mid and treble is superb. The amp is dead quiet. It sounds like a very fine SS amp but somehow better. It's the old Mac sound of my childhood reborn in a super amp. Again congratulations to everyone who has bought one.

Best

Charles

The 3500 amp is one to behold in person. I had no idea it was so large. Congrats to all of the new owners of this superb tube amp.

You'll be getting your own very large amp any day now I suspect.

Awesome!!! I would love to hear your thoughts on the differences between the MC275. Take a bunch of photos and post them for us. I love Mc Tube amps.
