McIntosh MC252 vs. MC352


I'm looking to purchase one of these McIntosh amplifiers-preowned. They are approx. the same price (<$3K). Outside of power (250-wpc vs.350-wpc), which one sounds better? I'm planning to run a Mark Levinson 390s (CD Player w/built-in vol. control) directly into the Amp., then out into a pair of Wilson Duette speakers. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Again, sound quality not quanity, is most important.

petronis88@aol.com, with the Levinson player going directly into the amp, I'd go for the Levinson amp as well. Levinson mates with Wilson very well.

I've heard the 252 and 402 but never heard 352. They are pretty good amps, but I think Levinson would be better.
