I'm replacing all my gear with McIntosh stuff for a 5 channel home theater system. I currently have:
Sonic Frontiers Line 1 preamp
Harman Kardon TU-911A AM/FM tuner
Audio Alchemy ACD-1 CD player
Denon DVD-1600 player
Krell KSA-100S amplifier
Magnepan MGMC1 speakers (I'm getting MGCC3 & MMGW surrounds, too)
Homebrew subwoofer (Dayton Titanic 12")
I'm looking to set up this system, I'm already in the middle of purchasing a few of them:
McIntosh C39 A/V preamp
McIntosh 7084 AM/FM tuner
McIntosh 7008 6-disc CD changer
Some kind of multichannel amplifier, 6x100W?
One of the main reasons I'm going all McIntosh is I'm going to set up a second zone in my library with a WK series controller, and I like how you can control the tuner and CD player from the keypad.
My question is: has anyone set up a system like this? How well does the McIntosh multiroom control work? Which amp would be a good match for a 5 channel magnepan setup? (Maggies like lots of power, so at least 100W is ideal, 200W would be better)
