I have the MC352 currently driving a pair of KEF R5 and I can give you my assessment of this amp against my other amp (Mark Levinson 23.5):
1. The MC352 has the same bass output and authority comparing to the ML23.5.
2. The MC352 is easier for your ear if you have a bad record or bad CD. It has a warmer, cozzier sound, comparing to the ML23.5
3. The MC352 is less resolving when it comes to micro detail comparing to the ML23.5 ; so if you have good recording then the ML23.5 will sound better.
4. The sound stage of the MC352 is smaller comparing to the ML23.5. By saying that, I mean the ML23.5 will give you a more lively presentation of the musical event ( it can be both engaging and fatiguing at the same time, depending on the record).
5. The LM23.5 has better imaging but the MC352 has more air around the instruments.
Overall, I would prefer the MC352 for a long musical session. and I will choose the ML23.5 for maximum musical fidelity.
Hope that help
