My father owned a C20 and then C22 and as a child I had many an enjoyable moment with them and his Bozak Concert Grands. However, I was unaware of this pre and I thought I knew of all the vintage Mac pre's. He also owned a C24 which was the first SS pre. I didn't like the sonics of the C24. I would hang on to this C11. It can only appreciate in value.

I'll only be impressed by this if you are making the power guard light blink
Just kidding of course, you have a very nice setup.

Thanks Gents....
Decided to do some critical listening and viewing over the weekend. I prefer this non-sanctioned look myself. |

What are your thoughts now that you've had the MA12000 for almost a year?

Here's my Mac setup. I run my MC 225 on my KEF 207s from time to time. It's phenomenal how much power this amp puts out.

What a beautiful system and amp! The MC225 is the last amp of my childhood. My father used it to run his Bozak Concert Grands. They were huge speakers. I never once heard the amp clip or distort. The Grands just produced beautiful music with it. The one thought I was left with was the power of the amp. For its claimed output it remains forever the most powerful 25 watts. I have to believe it produced at least 40-50 clean watts per channel. I understand you can't buy one for 5K.
