RE: REVIEW: McIntosh MA6600 Integrated Amplifier (SS)

Hi There:

Interesting situation here. Something is CLEARLY amiss.

My friend who owns the MA6600 drives Harbeths to his hearts delight..I don't think I have seen him go over 46% on the volume...ever.

The Harbeths are 6 Ohms and medium sensitivity.

Now, I own Thiel CS3.7. The 3.6 is quite a different speaker from what I looked up. Low sensitivity at around 86 db, and 4 ohms but it goes all the way down to 2.5.

Here is what I am thinking. Try the 2 ohm tap. That may be the ticket.

Secondly...your source..what is the output voltage? Is is below the standard 2V?

Ultimately, I think the 3.6 is the issue. The 3.7 is way more sensitive.

See this Stereophile review..with a link to the 3.6 review as well.
