I've owned a Mac 6100 integrated since new. It's been totally reliable, and sounds quite nice with easy speakers like your Spendors. The inputs will handle your needs.That said, if I were doing it today, I'd take the advice you've gotten to go with a 2100/2105 and a separate preamp. The preamp in the 6100 is nothing special and definitely rolls off the highs and sweetens things overmuch. For a number of years, I took advantage of the pre-out/amp-in connectors to use a different preamp with mine and use the 6100 only as an amplifier. The Mac amp in this unit is quite nice.
These days I use it only for background music, and it continues to be reliable, however, I'm considering sending it to Terry DeWick for overall cleaning, checking components vs. specs, and so forth. If I were to sell it, I'd only get about $400 for it, and it's worth more than that to me for the role it fills.
Hope this helps!
