CLhigham Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Greetings all, Can anyone share your experience, thoughts and/or opinions concerning matching a new solid state McIntosh MA5200 with Heresy III speakers? You input is greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 Haven't matched those. But have matched MC2505 to heresy 1 and it sounds wonderful. I could imagine the combo you speak of would as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLhigham Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 Thanks Dude! Sincerely appreciate the feedback. $4,500 is a big leap into wtf am I doing territory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The McIntosh MA5200 is a bargain at $4,500. Class A/AB amplification for outstanding performance in the milliwatt range, 100 watts into 8 ohms - 160 watts into 4 ohms, electromagnetic switching for life-long noise free operation, modern ESS 9018 DAC, newest MM/MC phono section, latest generation headphone amp, etc. THD .005%, SNR 110 db, LED trouble-free lighting, famous McIntosh glass front panel and accurate 'blue' watt meters, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenazFilan Posted January 16, 2017 Share Posted January 16, 2017 I'm running a vintage McIntosh MA6200 integrated amp with Fortes and have nothing but good things to say about the combo. McIntosh and Klipsch go together beautifully, IMO: the McIntosh warmth smooths the bite from the horns while the Klipsch brightness and dynamic sound help add sparkle to the music. And while McIntosh equipment is pricy it has excellent resale value. If things don't work out I'm sure you'll find somebody who will be more than willing to take your unwanted McIntosh equipment off your hands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLhigham Posted January 16, 2017 Author Share Posted January 16, 2017 (edited) I'm reminded of the old Dangerfield (I think) joke "take my wife! Please". But leave my Mac. The aspects of both units individually and the pairing were what I was thinking as well. Very happy you confirmed my assumption. Thanks!
