McIntosh MA252

This is all even in our order, harmonics, and that goes right through the crossover and Fries your tweeter, because you're increasing the power dramat...

So if you're a vinyl enthusiast, this is made for you.. The MA252 comes with a remote control that will operate it and do basic functions if you have ...

Overall I am happy with my system but looking to add a more powerful integrated like mcintosh ma252 if I can get one with a decent discount in US. Before my creek audio I had a Unison Research tube amp that sounded amazing but my kids are attracted to tubes glow like rabbits and they had to go. I wish I bought the creek 100's but it is in the past now. I am also looking for a streamer for better integration with spotify as the whole family is using it.

It is so clean that combined with the Focal tweeters it can get very detailed. It is like I got a whole new pair of speakers when I removed the temporary marantz receiver. I knew it was going to be a good move but was surprised regardless. I struggled a lot with the choice between the Hegel and the McIntosh MA252 but with the value retention of Hegel I can sell or trade in a couple of years and do ok.

McIntosh MA252 has a phono stage so I don't see the need to upgrade that. Speakers I'm looking to upgrade to either some Sonus Faber or Focal 3-way (or 4) floor standers. Honestly, this sounds pretty good to my untrained ears now, but I know I can always improve. Which part of the chain should be upgraded first?.

I got a mcintosh ma252 integrated thinking that for SURE it would outperform the elex-r, but I was blown away by how boring the phono stage was. Zero attack. Even my wife who doesn't care about sound noticed that vs the rega, the music sounded like it was being played in "foam world". Unbalanced inputs sound gorgeous though, using the Cambridge as a source.

## McIntosh MA252. This was a very bright sounding amp.

So I was pretty settled on the McIntosh MA252 but after a back and forth with their customer support I decided against it. They must have the worst CS I've ever seen.
