Wrench722 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 AudiogoN ForSale: McIntosh MC2100 I am planing on buying this and was wondering if any body knows this guy or anything about this Amp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hifi jim Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Don't know the seller, but that is a fine amp for Klipsch. I am currently using an MC2505 (the 2100 is the same amp, minus meters but twice the power), and it sounds very nice. I may be selling my 2505 in the near future, I will post it in the garage section when I'm ready. Do some research on here for MC2505 and MC250 (50 watts, with and w/o meters), and MC2105 and 2100 (100 watts with and w/o meters). All are great amps and have many fans.

kuisis Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I was checking that out also. I have a Mc250 and a peach. The mac sounds great, better than my scott integrateds. I would say go for it, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody_Mack Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 My recently purchased MC250 does not have a power switch. The MC2100 for sale looks the same; no power switch. Why is that, and how do you other owner's deal with this? Would adding a power on/off switch detract much from its originality and value?

Why is that, and how do you other owner's deal with this? Would adding a power on/off switch detract much from its originality and value? Rick I believe the MC250 and MC2100 were designed to be turned on and off from the preamp (which has a switched outlet) such as the C26 or C28. McIntosh amps are very efficient and could probably be left on indefinitely. Adding a power switch will unfortunately hurt a Macs value. Also consider plugging the amp into a power conditioner which has remote switching, Monster make some power strips that sell for about $150 that will take a 12v trigger. There are also lots of remote switches and power strips available at Target, Wal-Mart, etc., that could provide at least a manual on/off switch.

kuisis Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Wrench Congratulations, glad you got it. As for no on off switch I guess I never thought about it. I just plug it in when I want to listen and unplug it when i'm finished. No big deal. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j-malotky Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Once you get it, if you don't like it drop me a PM and I will take it off your hands. I have a rack full of MC-250's driving my fronts and sides and a MC-2105 driving my rears. I prefer the non big blue meter MC amps in my HT. The lights are too bright and I see blue glow on my screen during blackout. I've been thinking about replacing the 2105 with a 2100.

fenderbender Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Great amp ...decent price....I have seen the MC2105's going over 1k recently.......enjoy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrench722 Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 Cool! Thanks guy. I don't like the lights that much. Does anybody know where I can find a manual for it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody_Mack Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 For my MC250, I got lucky and scored a free downloadable Owner's manual and Service manual at this site: http://www.berners.ch/McIntosh/en/Matrix.htm However it looks like the 2100 is password protected for some reason. The MC250 is pretty much the same amp (at 50 Watts) so the Owners' manual should be similar; you can download it. Or, do a Google search and keep scrolling the pages; something may turn up. Here is a service manual that I found for the 2100: http://www.pmillett.com/file_downloads/McIntosh/MC2100.pdf Of course there are tons of on-line places to buy them at $10 - $20. Check out this Mac catalog of various components: http://www.berners.ch/McIntosh/Downloads/Catalog_038-961.pdf Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HudsonValleyNoah Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Hey Wrench, If you want, I will photo-copy my original 2100 manual and mail the copy to you... Send me an email with your address and I'll get it in the mail by Monday or thereabouts. Noah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whamo Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Wrench, Are you still married? That picture you posted of your wifey when you went to pick up the Klipschorns was priceless. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whamo Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Sorry Henri, I mistook you for someone else. Anyways this fella was picking up some Klipschorns from a freight place and when they brought them out someone took a pic of his wife. The expression on her face was priceless. I thought it was you.

Wrench722 Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 Well I have had it for two weeks now. It dont sound that good? I guess when you are hearing your RF-7,s with a Yamaha RX-9 at 170 watts it is hard to beat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
