I personlly like them both equally. The 602 seems to have a little more power but the 352 a little more finesse. They both have amazing soundstage, musicality, and impart good weight to the music. They were pushing B&W N801 with a Proceed CDP. They are both on my best-of list and you cannot go wrong with either IMO. Arthur
Anyone compared McIntosh MC352 and 602?
I think about buying one of these amps. As I live in Moscow, where there is no dealer with both amps on display, I'd like to know your experience. Has anyone compared the two amps? Is there a sonic difference, or ist the 602 simply more powerful and the difference only audible if you turn it up real loud? I can afford the 602, but is it worth the $ 3000 difference? I'd like to drive it with my McIntosh C200-preamp, using LAT IC-200 interconnects and speaker cables to my Shahinian Diapason.
Thanks for any input.
