Mattsa Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 (edited) Hi! New member here but not new to Klipsch Been using the search button but would like some input regarding the topic. I´m not from the USA so first appoliges is due I guess if my spelling isn´t correct.... In the market for a new amp and I know that the only way realy is to do a home demo but since the Mcintosh Ma6900 isn´t avalibale other than on the used market I can´t realy do that. The reason I´m extra keeen on the 6900 is that it´s seems to be realy "warm" in it´s sound and I know that´s suits me! Have anyone tried or actually own the combo of Rf-7II and the Ma6900?? when I search I find one comment about that combo and it gets "raves", not realy in the position to get seperates at the moment and an integrated should suit me at the moment! I know that the Rf-7:s like current and I guess that the Ma6900 should be efficent enough?? My room is quite big (60sq meters) and I listen to all kind of Music, from Dire straits to infected Mushrooms.... Sorry if this been commented before but would realy need yor help since my nearest dealer that actually have a second handed is more than a 2,5 hours drive a way from my home.

wstrickland1 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I've never heard that exact combo, but I would feel very confident in saying that you will be amazed. I doubt you'd ever feel the need to upgrade further although that never stopped any of us from doing so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I have not heard that particular McIntosh but, have heard the RF 7 II's on other McIntosh amps. I think you will be very impressed. The Mc will provide plenty of quality power for the speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattsa Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share Posted October 31, 2017 Thank´s for your reply I will have alook at a Parasound A21 aswell, was actually recomended the A21 over the Ma6900 by a dealer who carries both Parasound and Mcintosh. Might go with seperates again..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wstrickland1 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Just know that you will need a preamplifier with the A21 as it is a power amplifier. It's a fantastic amp though and a true bargain in the audio world 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wstrickland1 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I think you'll be very happy with a P5 unless you can spring for a JC 2 . The JC 2 is in a completely different class but the P5 is no slouch. I believe the P5 has a built in dac too so that's nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattsa Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 Got the Parasound A21 in the rack for a test now, only played for about two hours but so far i´m very pleased with the result Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wstrickland1 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 It's an amazing amp. What preamp are you using with it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattsa Posted November 1, 2017 Author Share Posted November 1, 2017 Right now I have a NAD 106 in the rack, it´s only there because i don´t have anything else at home at the moment. The Parasound P5 I used to have was sold at the same time as my old amp were sold. Now the hunt begins for a new preamp the obvious thing to do is to get Another P5 I guess, but it would be fun to try something else aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 If cost is not a major factor, get the matching Mc Intosh system and don't look back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
