Mcintosh mc 352 or 602 overkill?


I have a paradigm studio 100 do you think it's overkill to use these amps? If so, recommend something that will be suffiecient. I have a Mcintosh preamp C15 and I love bass and Rock music and I dont like to use tone controls.

I think the 352 brings more power to the table than the 100's need but I love mine. The 352 is a great amp. I see them here on AudioGon all the time for 3000 plus/minus. That is a terrific buy since new @4500. I also have a 7205 that I am only using as a center surround now, when I added the 352 my speakers(old infinity Kappa 7's) opened up and sound so good I have put off buying new speakers.
I agree with everyone else the 602 is way overkill. You may consider the new 402 it has new enhancements I wish the 352 had, with exception of the UGLY front panel.
Glad to hear someone else find the 402's new front panel ugly! We should sign a petition so that the next amps won't have that same treatment!
The MC 352 is one of the best sounding amps McIntosh makes today. Power is a good thing.
You can pick up one of these for around $3000. You won't be disappointed.
Else, the MC 2102 tube amp $4500. Tough to go the extra $ but will hold it's value better over time.
i bought a mc602 from audio classics back in 2011 for 6k. you don't really see too many of these for sale on the internet. can anyone tell why?
