used mc452 or new mc312


Hello! , I read very little about the new 312. I have a 452 and my problem is not the power today, with 200 watts its ok . but I want some of the new line. Sonically I never liked the 302 but never listened 312. Is it a faster and more refined sound than 302? I listened to ma12000 and I really liked it. and i was thinking about mc312 with my c2300.

used has NO service.
they won't service a unit not bought from authorized dealer.


There are a bunch of certified McIntosh repair shops around. Has to be one of the best supported brands. No worries there. 

Any recent thoughts from those who have compared the mc452 to the Mc312? I wanted to revive this old thread in hopes of getting some more recent opinions based on experience.  The two products should be similar in price.  I am thinking of upgrading my mc152 in hopes of getting some improvement,  especially in sound stage and imagining.
