Hi all - I wanted to introduce myself. Been lurking on and off for about a month, trying to learn/pickup tidbits when I can. I don't have much experience with audio, but I consider my self a fast learner :D

Anyway, I inherited a McIntosh Mac 1700 from my grandfather who passed away this past fall. I have great memories of him listening to it, so I am planning on using it as one of many ways to remember him. Its in good cosmetic shape and I recently sent it off to be brought back to "factory spec." I can't wait to get it back! At some point I am going to have to get some input on speakers . . .

Thanks to all of the posters for being such a great resource!

Great to see more from Seattle! Check out craigslist, there are tons of speakers there, also the goodwills here are excellent. Just avoid white van speakers.

I inherited a McIntosh Mac 1700 from my grandfather who passed away this past fall.Sorry for your loss, but I have to say Grandfather had excellent taste. :yes: Very nice piece of gear, and wonderful that you have kept it and will continue using it instead of sending it to the auction block or the Goodwill.
