I love my McIntosh MA252 integrated amp. I love its profile, but more than that, I love the sound. I have used it to power S/F Serafino’s, and now have my MT5 turntable hooked up, a BlueSound Node, and running into B&W 804’s. I don’t use this system currently to power the living room, but I have in a previous house. It is a lovely sounding piece of equipment (set up).
