Easy boys. Raidho speakers sound awesome and frankly I don't think I'd hit their limit. I use my volume control judiciously. There's plenty of great gear out there to match to the user. Everything can work great for the right person.

Well said Joe. They didn't work for me, but for others, they may be magical.

+1 on all counts! Loved how they sounded at Bob's!
 
Last night i was able to hear both the C500/500T and the C1000/1000T side by side with the XR100's. I loved the ability to demo these 2 amazing preamps and we had so much fun.In the end i feel that i will be very happy with either model, but i must admit that i felt the C1000 did sound more open/natural and transparent, but there were times when i was wondering if i am just hearing some kind of "placebo" effect.

On certain tracks when we switched from the C500T to the C1000T i could hear a diff, but when switching back to the C500.......the diff seemed so very, very little......confusing at times even......i was really hoping that i would be able to easily pick a "Fav", but i honestly cannot.............however like i said i will be happy with either model...............just wish the C500 had that damm beautiful metal remote lol

I would love the C1000P/T combo with the ability to switch back and forth between tube and SS. My C500T sound wonderful so I am not missing too much. Whichever you choose will be awesome. Good luck.
 
Well i made my choice and placed my order today

...........I went with the C1000/C1000T ........this was the hardest choice i ever made concerning Mcintosh gear, but in the end the C1000/C1000T combo won me over.........now comes the hard part.....waiting for it

Congratulations!

I would love to go to the C1000 myself. Can't wait for your opinion.
 
Thank You Guys :) .....i am very happy to have ordered it.
 
Pretty sweet unit. It always bothered me that the C500 came with the same remote as the C2300. That one you're getting is gorgeous! Enjoy.
