MC2300 vs MC300 - Audiokarma Home Audio Stereo Discussion …
Aug 20, 2011 · The myth that McIntosh quality was going down hill in the mid 90,s was bogus.

McIntosh MC300 or Odyssey Stratos? - Audiogon Discussion Forum
Feb 10, 2006 · I have a chance to get a McIntosh MC300 (originally purchased 1998) for about the same price as the Odyssey Stratos.

Oct 28, 2017 · The MC300 is shrouded in mystery. On the surface it seems an updated MC7300 less front panel gain controls.

Aug 22, 2012 · One of the jokes I came up with was if anyone could run away with a Mcintosh amplifier, I'd hold the door for him.

I held the door. Power amp guy was huge.
