Rubber feet locations on the MC352?

I'm trying to figure out if an MC352 will sit on a shelf that's only 17-3/4" deep. The manual says that the depth of the unit behind the faceplate is 21 inches, including clearance for connectors, but it doesn't say where the feet are located.

It won't matter that the front of the amp will protrude past the front edge of the shelf, but I'm trying to find out if all four feet will end up on the shelf. All I need is the distance from the back of the faceplate to the front edge of the front feet.

Asking for Assistance

My parents recently moved and my dad has had a set of McIntosh equipment sitting in boxes for many years. I had them set up when I was in college, but that was 25 years ago. he's not interested in keeping them around and has asked if I could see about selling them.

MC2105, C28, MR74.

the MC2105 has a broken glass pane, but he has a replacement, just not installed. all three pieces do not have cases or rubber feet.

we live in Southern California, (North San Diego County) and I'm not coming up with any reputable shops that I could take these into. considered restoring them for a second, but honestly, I think he'd rather just sell these cheap to someone who is willing to send them off for restoration. they all power up, but I have no way of testing them.

I don't really want to ship these, so I'm having a bit of a hard time determining value for a local sale. if you were a buyer and willing to send these off to get worked on, what would you be willing to pay for the set?

appreciate any and all help.

XR14 advice needed

I just picked up some XR14 speakers and rushed home to set them up on my dining room table like any normal human would do. They almost sound great but reading the manual it speaks of getting a mq104 eg to really make them shine. My question is do I really need to go that route or would a decent stereo eq suffice in this situation? I'll be running them with an old Onkyo tx6500 as a budget build. Any advice would be appreciated.

How do we feel about Psvane Horizon tubes?

I just rolled a full tube set into my MC1502 this morning. First impressions are they’re just as spacious as the stock tubes, but more textured through the mids with faster less flabby bass. They’re a bit bright for my taste, but I can appreciate the extension and air. They’ve only been running for a few hours, so maybe things will change over the week.

Generally speaking, I like them and I’m curious to try the Horizon series tubes.
