What sonic differences would one expect from a Mac-5100 as compared to the above integrate amps. Each of the above has a completely different sound.

Marantz: full bodied SSSMMMOOTTHH velvety sound. A little low on the bass so you do need the loudness function more often

Sansui: actually TTTOOOO dynamic. very color and makes the music VERY lively. but it can get to be TOO much after a while. A more tone contour controls than the space shuttle.

Scott: surprisely dynamic and very un-tube like sounding. punchy but clear, crisp and dynamic. A hell of a amp for low listening classic, vocal, jazz. This amp has the MOST seperation I have EVER heard in one amp. There are times I wonder if one speaker is on or not. It also has one of the best midranges I've heard to date but a little to crispy top end.
