Having owned the C 2200 and C 2102 at the same time I think they will play very well with the L 100’s. Kind of a vintage/modern setup.

Agreed.. initially I was looking for something like C33 and 2255.
Then those blue meters appeared and I think oh it was pretty old but not too old, so the plan changed.

Toga, looks really nice. The KLH Model 5 got a nice review in the most recent Stereophile. It's sealed like your Magico Q7's. In its day it was a classic. Inexpensive at 1998.00 for a pair. It would be an excellent alternate to your JBL's.

Some folks think Mac's may not be the ultimate in resolution. Using solid silver AQ I think they would find Mac's have plenty of resolution.
