    How much should I pay for these two amps?

    Mcintosh C30 & MC2205. I have no idea what is right price for these two. They are working perfectly but the bottom one reads STER(EO) (POW)ER. Thanks for all the comments in advance.

But come to my dismay, I found the Sopra 1 recommended power is 25-150 watts (4 ohm). The MacIntosh is 350 watts x 2 (any ohm). Does this mean that there is...

    Plugging in Kanta 2 8 ohm speakers into McIntosh 4 ohm port.

    I was in the hi fi store and I heard the McIntosh 12000 with the Focal Kanta 2s. I loved the sound...it really appealed to me. To me, it was really great synergy.
