That’s not a Mac model. A 452 is an awesome amp. You’ll love it. I have all Mac stuff, except for speakers. They make excellent equipment. The stuff hold it’s value. I buy and sell pieces all the time and rarely lose money. How many brands do you know of that you could buy an Amp in 1985 for $500 and it’s worth $3000now? Whenever I have a problem I called the service line and I always get somebody. They are very helpful even if you call them up and tell them that you bought it used they will still help you through any problems that you have. It’s a great place to park $4000 into an amplifier. Guaranteed if you don’t like it you’ll get your money back out of it.
McIntosh Amp mix with off brand pre
My audio journey is in an awkward puberty stage.
I have been using a Parasound C1 for HT. It's also a very neutral 2 channel preamp. I've been doing more 2 channel listening. But I'm not ready to build out a dedicated 2 channel system.
I'm dabbling with the idea of bringing in a better amp for my 2 channel listening. The MC452 seems to be a good value now that it's no longer the current model.
Question. Do McIntosh amps pair well with other pre amps? Or is this it just a wasted Frankenstein? Thanks.
