RE: How can I get the magic of MI-200 McIntosh amps...

Buy the cheapest 45 amp you can find, then run the signal through two miles of wire before it hits the speaker terminal. Shazam- there's your Mac magic.


LOL. You mean drop the B+ on the Mac amps from 450vdc down to about 90vdc and then run a mismatched load on the speaker terminals and that will give you that single ended magic of high 2nd order distortion. Argh argh...
