Mc Intosh Need The good bad and ugly?? Should i

Hey Ljgj how do you like the c2200, I have a mc352/ c42 and was thinking of changing preamp. By the way I beleive the MAC owners get the last laugh. Heat in class A equ. has a big affect it will slowly show signs due to the heat(in the shop again) while MAC owners have to deal with a bubble in the faceplate glass say in 10 or 12 years from now.

I moved my C42 to my second system after trying out the C2200 - it is one fine piece and brings a more natural sound to the match.

THANKS. I HAVE HAD LEVINSON PIECES AND TIRED OF THE PRICES. I WILL GIVE THESE A TRY. ANY IDEA WHICH AMP? SOLID STATE 352 OR 402 OR 602.
I AM USING A LEVINSON 390S AND GENESIS 500 SPEAKERS WITH NORDOST WIRE.
THANKS
BOB

The 352 will do you just fine with the Genesis but if you are real power monger and have the extra money go bigger and I might add much heavier.

I compared the MC352 and the MC602. Taking into account the price difference of 2500 dollars, the way to go is the MC352. The MC602, as ljgj pointed out, is 70 kilos. On the other hand, the MC352 is already close to 50 kilos, so you will not be able to move either amp alone, anyway. I myseld settled on a MC402, which I will receice tomorrow. Can't wait for the moment.
