I never heard an MA6400 (I have an MA6500 that I enjoy very much), but I would avoid an MA6300 if you're after a traditional Mac sound. I purchased a 6300 when it was introduced in 2006. The preamp section is typical McIntosh but the power-amp section is very bright and in your face in the upper mids and treble. It eventually went back to the dealer. I had hoped it was a defective unit but I learned later it was operating as designed. A peculiar product in the McIntosh lineup.

The model in question for this thread is the MA6200.
Just got my MA5100 back from Audio Classics. The sound is night/day difference from before. The sound is more fuller and deeper than before. This is the best sound my MA5100 has produced since I put it in my audio system over a year ago.
Yes, I know you were asking about the MA6200. But I was responding to the suggestion above for you to consider an MA6300 or MA6400 as an alternative.
I'm glad your MA5100 is back in working order and sounding better than ever.
The MA6300 and 6400 are way out of reach. The only chance I have is with a MA6200. I know without a doubt that I will have to make payments. The only alternative would be to find someone who is looking to buy an MA5100, but I do not see that happening.
