I recently moved into a dedicated/larger audio room and have decided to start over..I dont really see too much chat about the 252 amp..I would like to try the McIntosh gear again and build a system around an amp thats in my price range...any thoughts on the 252...thanks
Ditto on all of the above, and I think the 252 is more popular than we think, for this very reason. It is after all a 501 in disguise, same design/guts and parts, just half current and 2ch....the sound gives that away. And Mc says so.
I'm using the C2200 pre and MC402 amp and have never felt buyer's remorse. MicIntosh users stay MicIntosh users for a reason - the stuff costs so much you can't afford to upgrade!
This is interesting for me. In the next few days I will buy either a MC252 or a MC402. I plan on pairing it with a C220. My question is do I need the extra Umph a 402 allows. My speakers are unapologetically Bose 901s. I cannot hear a difference between the 2 amps. My listening room is not really large ( 15 x 20 ) What do you think? Is more power usually better ?
