Lots of good ones mentioned here. For me it is McIntosh..........Solid. I have old ones and newer ones. Of course they have clean power but the most important point for me is that they interface with both home audio and pro audio equipment seamlessly. They bridge that gap wonderfully. With systems that require pro digital processors and higher powered amps for big subs, but that also use home audio source components jumping to McIntosh was one of the smarter things I did.

Congrats Schu. Lucky Dawg you.

Christy, That looks like a really hard hit. We hope you are OK. Don't worry you will have another car. Thanks for all you and Elden do. Hope to see you guys again soon.

Anyone remember Jim Nazium?

Probably very hard to find unless someone here or elsewhere with a Peach makes you a copy. That said, a few of us here own or have owned a Peach. Any specific questions we could help you with?

It links to other units via RS-232 DB-9 connector shown above. Links to a PC and Protea PC tool to control the unit via USB shown above. No ethernet.

Since it has 4 inputs and 8 outputs, it will easily do a pair of 2-way speakers with 4 output channels left over for other speakers/subs.

Still available. Lower price.

I was just looking for another trip. Had fun. 😀 Maybe another time.

They image incredibly. Huge 3D soundstage with my Scott LK-72. A ton of bass. Basically the DIY kit of this same unit.

Very nice. Someone will surely enjoy this.

I know you are busy, but this is good stuff if you can find time to share. So what other controls were you able to squeeze in if any? Balance, loudness, stereo/mono/reverse stereo, CH A, CH. B ? Any of these original Scott controls? Is the circuit the Scott LK-72 preamp circuit or modified?

Nice. I like the amp but I really like the miniaturized preamp.

Well it would be 4 MWW singles. Much easier to handle and place.

Interested in a modern MCM.........same top end as Jubs, but MWM bass cabinets?

If anyone needs any final opinions I'm all ears.

Well I discussed this already on page 2 here. But I don't have an answer for many things people do in audio and say they make better sound. I just got a $250 carbon USB cable for "improved" streaming. I swore I would never try such a thing (pricey cable). So what do you think I will hear? I have been using a $25 mono price USB cable and have been happy.

I was always aware of bypass caps and that theory they improve the sound (somehow). I never tried doing that. It just does not make sense to me based on the science of how caps work and wanting to have a single clear signal path. Obviously, some folks hear an improvement apparently.

When you ear tells you that it either matters or doesn't. I have my lascalas which are electrically excellent (and use passive networks) connected to the same McIntosh preamp as my Jubilees (digital processor). When I A/B them I sometimes wonder why I even own lascalas the difference is so great and they sound so smeared compared to the time aligned Jubs. Listening to just the lascalas again by themselves after a few days........hey these speakers sound darn good. Crazy hobby.

It s not "length" as in a distance path. It is length of signal time travel due to charge/discharge based on differing capacitance and resistance values.

As long as you stack caps with the same values the twin paths (assuming 2 caps) should not be a problem. It is when you mix caps of significantly different values you provide two paths with different timing. That is where the smear occurs.

I used to stack caps all the time when I was building crossovers. I used to build the ALK ESNs which have huge cap values. That invited the stacking. When you stack caps of different values you create uneven time constants which adds smear. Until I started using active systems with time delays I didn't realize how "unclear" passive networks can be..........and how you can screw them up even worse by messing with someone's design.

This is true.........my room is 16 x 26. You do not need a big room. The MCM system sounds much better than any of the Heritage even in a smallish room. I have heresys, corns, lascalas, and had Khorns. All toys by comparison. No disrespect, I still listen to the others. But there is no comparison to the sound stage and quality of sound from those others. The only caveat is my Jubs and 884 subs on the other side of the room. Depending on the music, they can sound better than my MCM..........and Roys new Jubs will certainly sound better than any old MCM setup as well.

Yeah..........I have mine.........still..........always.

MWM singles, fiberglass, aluminum trim. Unobtanium. The rest is a bonus as there are updated horns to use in an MCM. Someone stop your life and go get these.
