Mcintosh mc252 review

The MC122 is entirely transparent and musical. It has a wondrous combination of clarity and warmth. The highs are clear and detailed, the mids warm and smooth, the bass deep, powerful, and well articulated. This is an amp that will make all of your music sing. It has great presence.

Lunatic Member. Jun 21, 2015. #7. I'm glad to read about the qualities of the MC 152. For those of us with efficient speakers or don't like to damage our hearing the MC 152 with 225 watt+ peak capability should be more than enough. Even with some of the smaller XR and xrt speakers the 152 would be a perfect match.Something new?

Get in touch with the folks at Audio Classics and I think they will quickly dispel any 'bad press' you may have heard about the MC352. It is certainly a step up from the MC252 and very similar in most respects to the MC402, but, for much less money.

The Mc2300 is a man's amp, the Dirty Harry, the .357 Magnum of any amp I have ever owned. The Mc2500 to me sounds good, but in the Mc2205/MC2255 sense of the word. Meaning, a little rounded at the edges sounding.Oct 12, 2019 · McIntosh MA252. The front panel is basic, there is a small screen, two knobs and a headphone jack. The right knob is your power and volume and the left is your input selector, navigator. The headphone out is a nice addition as well. I personally love the clean look. I am not a fan of systems with 100 buttons and knobs.

I currently have a McIntosh MC252 which I like quite a bit. Besides the weight, there isn’t anything I don’t like about it. These can generally be picked up around $3k. The MC462 was bench tested at Stereophile. This is really the only reason I picked this particular amp. I am sure it outperforms the one I own by a pretty wide margin.Location: Long Island. I have this amp, and I love it. I use it to drive my B&W N802s, which are thought to be very power hungry. The MC202 has more than enough power for them.

If your AC mains have a slight amount of DC offset riding on them, then the transformers may vibrate or hum. This is not uncommon, and is no fault of the audio gear. The cause of the dc offset can be internal to your home, or it can be a bad neighbor.May 12, 2019. #18. Hi, I have an MC 7200 with a c37 pre. i love this amp! It has been perfect for me.
