    Sorry for the late reply, life has gotten in the way.  I think they match up very well.  I also use the MC2105 with some JBL 4313B and 4411 with very much resolution, just a little different tone than the L65s as they are a little more lean due to being professional monitors but all have the same 5" midrange.  My MC2105 is from 68/69 and its got plenty of oomph even conservatively rated at 105-150 wpc.  Back in August of '23 I acquired a set of DCM TW7 and the Mac sounds the best with those over my McCormack DNA-1 and even the B&K EX-442.

    Thanks, things just got sweeter with an Acoustic Zen Tsunami III power cable upgrade!  SO much more musical than the Pangea I was using, night and day difference.  Thank you Robert Lee, you make GREAT products!!
