The mighty JBL 250ti, Limited Edition.  I'm driving the highs and mids with McIntosh MC30 tube amps, a McIntosh MC2100 is driving the lows.

It's nice to see JBL shedding it's mass market past. However, I never joined the cult of tube amps. Solid state sounds just as good, have more power, and less maintenance issues. | |||

That looks like a great setup. I will be looking for the same type setup when we retire and move into new home. Because son, it is what you are supposed to do. | |||

I've always been intrigued by tube equipment. Looks great! SIGforum: For all your needs! Imagine our influence if every gun owner in America was an NRA member! Click the box>>>  | |||

Tough crowd. This is my listening room, the 5 year old Sony serves as a great display for my music server. I have a nicer, larger TV in the family room...

I first learned audio on McIntosh components. I am not sure about the room shape and materials but there's nothing like the McIntosh sound. More THD than solid state but what distortion! Solid State: "Wow. That's accurate." Proper Tubes: "Wow. That's beautiful." Right now, I am finishing a new rewired/retubed guitar amp with an original K120. Over the years, JBL has hit upon some special things. I used a Butler tube amp to smooth out titanium Focal speakers in one of my cars so I imagine using McIntosh to drive your speakers would work well too. I'd love to hear Strivinsky's Firebird with the giant drum on your set up. Enjoy nirvana. (Edit: I formerly used the Butler amp until someone recently broke into the trunk and took it. I am in denial because it aggravates me.)This message has been edited. Last edited by: Tubetone, _______________________________ NRA Life Member NRA Certified Range Safety Officer | |||

I would bet that does sound great. I bought a set of JBL Decades new many years ago, still have them but need reconed. Not a bad sound for a mid sized speaker. I replaced them with the Ohm I. Great sounding biamp capable. I always wanted Mac tube amps. I have them powered with a Carver and an SAE amp. NRA Life Endowment member Tri-State Gun collectors Life Member | |||

If one wanted to get some Mac equipment...probably used, where would one look? SIGforum: For all your needs! Imagine our influence if every gun owner in America was an NRA member! Click the box>>> | |||

6guns, that was what came to mind to warn you about when you asked. One advantage is that the blue lights are a uniquely soothing color. If you put on the right music and take in the lights, you'd forget about the money. It's a pleasant seduction. _______________________________ NRA Life Member NRA Certified Range Safety Officer | |||

Beautiful. If I ever find time to sit and really listen I will invest in McIntosh, I love the sound. | |||

The look really is inviting! And I'm sure the sound makes you stay! Maybe sometime in the future. The interest has been there for years. I could sell a few guitars....or not. SIGforum: For all your needs! Imagine our influence if every gun owner in America was an NRA member! Click the box>>> | |||

And I'm guessing that there are fewer used McIntosh products on the market vs other brands. SIGforum: For all your needs! Imagine our influence if every gun owner in America was an NRA member! Click the box>>> | |||
