the macs put out about 70wpc before clipping. should be more than adequate for the yammies.if not, then down the road the yammies go. i just screwed myself in the past year by buying a bunch of amps to power less efficient speakers. in the end, the MC60s are such superior amps IMHO to big SS power, that i will never make that mistake again.
if you think that big Yamaha separates have better sonics than McIntosh MC60s, then i guess we will just have to agree to disagree. I've never heard big Yamaha amps, but i do own a Quad 909 that puts out 240wpc and everyone in Britain has a huge hard on for. and i like my macs better by a WIDE margin.
see ya,
Robby
