Anyone compared McIntosh mc252 and mc352?

Hello all
Wondering if anyone has been able to compare these two amps in the same system. I definately don't need more than 250W but since the 352 is in the same price range, I would be interested in hearing comparisons on the two. Thanks! Arthur

what speakers are you trying to drive? if they are floor standers, they will probably benefit from the larger of the two (i'm not a flea power SET fan). My MC352 runs out of steam before my Aerial 10T's run out of dynamic range (granted at high SPL's). The 10T's would be cleaner, smoother, and have more definition on the way up with some MC501's.

The speakers are in my system list. They are JM Lab Electra 926.

The 352 has Quad-Differential Technology, meaning its truly balanced, The 252 is not.
