Otherwise they're going back on Craigslist and then eBay. My laptop crashed a couple of weeks ago and I lost their emails.
If I could find that sound in an amp with adequate power.īTW, if the guys from the forum thet were interested in buying my Cornwall redux speakers read this, they're available. Can't wait 'till they're both done and can hear them mono-bloc'd.īTW, the best sound that's ever come out of my sytem was delivered through a Decware Zen amp. Right now, one of my 225's is being re-chromed and screened, as will it's mate when the first one is finished. So far I've had in my system Cary 300B's, ARC Classic 60, Decware Zen, Scott 299A (mkII?), and a Brenneman Stereo 30 among others. However, for my taste (and of course, that's not saying much) they are a tad bit too "brown" sounding. I've heard MC30's in a few systems and they DO sound pretty darn good. Most of what I read (Audio Karma, Audio Asylum, ad infinitum) give the nod to 225's over MC30's. I did quite a bit of reading before deciding to buy a pair of MC225's. The point of the article was to give good, reasonable advice to new "tubies."Īs to your beef with the Heathkit unit, it was a handsomely appointed piece with more than adequate power.Īnd remember, these are the best vintage amps that "I'VE" heard.The debate over which classic tube pieces are best is almost like arguing religion. Now, that may not be the case anymore, and it could have been a momentary thing. Additionally, based on a quick survey of the availability of units for rehab/purchase, there were more '225s available on a national level. 90 watts per cannel minimum continuous (both channels operating) at 16 ohms from 25 Hz to 20 kHz with less than 1 total harmonic distortion. I would simply say that to my ear, in my listening rooms, the '225 was my choice.Ģ. MSRP (US new retail): D-90: 2,195, D-90B: 2,450 (Later increased to 2,695) Power output. The '30's are no slouch, but as subjective as this subject is, I would not dismiss your choice of the '30's as a better amp.
the 225 with a pair of KG4's I thought the '225s was simply a better fit, and based on subsequent opportunities to listen, I continued to enjoy the '225 more. I did a lot of deliberating over whether to include the MC-30 over the '225 but in the end, I chose the 225 for the following reasons:ġ.
