| New McIntosh MA252 For the price and features, it’s going to be hard to beat. Smart move on the part of McIntosh as this unit will serve as a great entry point for folks to get hooked on the brand. | |
| New McIntosh MA252 I got a used one. It looks new though so no wait! I sold my Accuphase E-600 as it was overkill for an office rig. The tube front end certainly creates some warmth and magic compared to 100% ss. I purchased a Plinius 980 last week as well (I had... | |
| Accuphase E600 or Esoteric F-03A @cool_jeeves - It wasn't much of a step up, if at all. I had an E-470 BTW. | |
| New McIntosh MA252 I just received mine yesterday, using it in my office rig. I am very impressed with build and sound quality. When I get around to it, I will compare it with my PrimaLuna Dialogue Premium integrated. | |
| My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each! I might have missed something. Did you sell your Luxman combo? | |

| Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK? @markmendenhall - this is brilliant! It made me laugh (and it was much needed)!! Thank you! | |
| Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK? Study up on the design of the Ayre AX-5 Twenty. Then take a listen. You will be amazed. | |
| Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK? @scaresta - I totally agree with you. I own an E-600 (office rig) and it's a great piece. OP has not stated a budget so it might be beyond his price threshold. | |
| Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK? @beetlemania,I agree with you. You would spend at least twice the price of an AX-5 Twenty to better its performance. I just went through an fairly exhaustive journey over the last two years. The Ayre is a game changer for sure. I didn't menti... | |
| Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK? Luxman L-590AX ii. List price of $8,995. None better at that price IMO. | |
| Ayre AX-5 Integrated Amplifier @jafant I sold my Luxman last year. I have my Accuphase E-600 in my office. Regards,greg | |
| Ayre AX-5 Integrated Amplifier I love my AX-5 Twenty. It’s still not fully broken in and continues to improve even with 150 hours of use. | |
| Ayre AX-5 Integrated Amplifier List is now $14,995. Still worth every penny IMO. | |
| This is for Georgehifi especially but others can chime in. @audiotroy - you and I had a rather lengthy conversation about gear last year. It was clear you were and still are a HUGE proponent of T+A gear. Given your level of confidence that it will outperform virtually 90% of the brands discussed on this ... |
