There are 205s in the marketplace but can't get the "necessities" to line up: Pallet shipping in original carton (IOW how Mac ships this stuff to their dealers) or being able to physically pick up the unit (or in one case that is within range it looks like it got dropped off the dock so it's not really an option). It's just a matter of turning up the right lead/example. To quote Philo Beddoe - "Onward." Enough digging will turn one up in time...... |

.....so I encountered a regional dealer who arranged for a special order of an MC255, and that amplifier is at the dealer awaiting my pickup. I'm rather surprised as to the speed of the amp being delivered given the special order status but there's an amp with my name on it within a few hours of here

WOW! This thread makes me appreciate my local Mac dealer.

It's here. Picked up midweek, speakers that it will be hooked up to are all apart in various processes of assemblage and damping, but a brand new MC255 sits here in my front room/working space as the refurbish of the home theater continues apace.
So I suspect in the coming couple of weeks, we will have a living, breathing, real world answer to just how well this beauuuuuutiful beast will mate with the refreshed Cornwalls. Mc front end with all newly redrivered/crossovered Cornwalls seems to be the "on-paper" match made in heaven, soon to be put into practice. I'm still wrapping my head around the fact that I have a brand new Mc amp in the house. Truly once in a lifetime. |
