Considering McIntosh MA352

It’s a real looker, A nice hybrid design, plenty of power, and good reviews. Very nice product! Also a Mac to-boot so always a resale market. If you like it, it has the connections you need and can afford it, go for it.   Should drive the Focals to their max and handle  most any speakers very well. You Only Live Twice!

yep

i’m w fuzz

based on what you said the mac ticks all boxes for you

w focals the only mistake you can make is get an amp that is too bright... the mac won't be

I have had mine for about 2 months and love the sound.  The looks are off the charts.  It is a tube preamp with solid state amp which has always been my favorite combination.  I have had 2 McIntosh tube preamps with multiple McIntosh solid state amps.  The last was C2600 preamp with M452.  This sounds close to that.  So no one asks I sold the C2600 and M452 because I needed the money.  I am extremely happy with the 352.  My speakers are Sonus Faber Veneer 3.0.  
Good Luck 

The MA352 also struck my interest as I am looking to get into the Mac bandwagon. I have been eying the MC352/MC402 and too many variations.  Looking to combine an Atmos (7.2.4) HT setup with an audiophile L/R for my SACD listening. The HT by-pass seems to be the solution. Have you used this configuration? My L/C/R: B&W 805D3 (L/R) and B&W HTM4D2 (C). Any thoughts or recommendations?

Had a 352 sold it in a month and put the Pathos Classic One MkIII back in. Both are hybrid but the Pathos was more engaging and plenty of power and can be used as mono blocks.

now if having green glowing tubes and blue meters get the 352. Me it was about the sound not the glitz.
