Khornukopia Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 McIntosh tube pre-amp and SS amp combo looks nice. Their new Class D amp at the 6 minute mark of the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fido Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 WOW - I have the MA252 and it sounds amazing thru my modified Fortes but this 352 looks fantastic with the blue meters and tone controls. the MA252 was about $3500 and this 352 is $6500 so its a lot more $$$ obviously but if I needed more power this could be a winner. It also has HT pass thru which is nice. I won't be upgrading but would love the MA352 to be in my system 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1101 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 You have to think out of the box. That new Mac MI128 could run a set of 3-way Jubs or even my 4-way MCM by itself and a processor. I have been interested in the sound of Mac's class D. Right now I am running my 3 way Jubs with a single Mac 8207 (7 channel amp, using 6 of the channels), and a Xilica processor. Simple and very good. Prior I had multiple amps which is harder to get right. Plus the step up to current production Mac equipment is outstanding. The MI128 is priced much lower than the big Macs. Could be a nice solution depending on how it sounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr clean Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 I think I will start a go fund me page for that MA352😎. I see very few pieces of gear, that check all the boxes for something I would be interested in like that does . I love the built in EQ. People either love or hate Mac gear but personally I think that is sweet! I better start saving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiva Posted September 20, 2019 Author Share Posted September 20, 2019 One thing to factor into the price according to the sales guy, is that the inner workings of the hybrid tube amp are designed to last 165 years. So, maybe in about 50 or 60 years or so, you can flip it and get half your money back.😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I have been tempted by all tube amps like Primaluna but my TINY Puppy Dog sounds damn nice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
