RE: Want McIntosh, can't afford it - what do?

Instant gratification is vastly over rated.
Save for what you want. Get a plan together.

Audition OTHER gear. If only Mc will do? you're stuck. The Aria 948 is listed as 90+db sensitive, so 100 watts will be plenty unless in a very large space with a preference for high levels.

If I lived NEAR enough to you, I'd bring over a Parasound amp, just for another, more affordable, data point.

As for the C50 'coloring' the sound, keep in mind that Mc has a definate 'house sound'. I haven't heard any buzz to tell me much different.
Too much is never enough
