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
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 ?
1+ years from my above post I still love this amp. I think you should get a 252 or move direct to 501s. I also love the shorter size of these amps. 250 RMS (this amp puts out 325 RMS or 30% than published in reality) should be ample for most speakers.
