Summary: Incredible piece. Now I understand why McIntosh has such a loyal fan base. The sound from my Meridian preamp is flawless. For the price I would have been a fool to purchase this model.
Strengths: Sound, build, history, looks beautiful in the dark.
Weaknesses: No auto on feature, oh well.
Similar Products Used: Rotel, Anthem

Review 2 of 4
, from Phenix City,Alabama,United Sta
Price Paid:
$0.00
from Merit Sound
Summary: I have used this amp for about 5 months now and it has a great sound . As long as your using some good equipment with it. The 7106 is very smooth and has plenty of power when used with effecient speakers. I like the fact you can configure the channels to fit your needs . I didn't know how good it was until I changed my mains to Soliloquy 6.3 from deftec BP 20's . Not to take anything from deftecs they are great speakers but the Soliloquy is a better match giving more of a tube like sound which I like. Not to mention you must have a good front end , without this you will never know what you have ! If there is junk at the begining then there is junk at the end . This amp deserves the mcintosh name which stands for alot ! It doesn't take alot of power to get good sound just clean power .
Strengths: clean power , channels can be configured to fit ones needs , well made ,has smooth sound and fast response
Weaknesses: none
