for most speakers the 352 is more than enough power to get a dynamic and refined performance...the 500 does make a difference however on a few very power hungry speakers such as ohm 300's or gradient revolutions....most conventional speakers will not behave that differently in the dynamics dept. and the sweet midrange the 352 is famous for is addictive. the 500 will at a little on the bottom end in some recordings, but in most cases they are very close.
McIntosh MC352 Vs MC500
Hi,
I am looking at getting a new power amp and have settled on a McIntosh the problem is which one? There are two models which really interest me the MC352 and the MC500. My question is what are the major differences between the two sound wise and is the MC500 worth the extra money? It will be used to power Mirage M1 speakers.
Thanks
