have a MA6600 and can't afford both a MC452 and a C50/2500. Should I buy a pre and use the integrated amp side or buy a mc 452 and use the integrated pre ?
I totally agree with Ghasley. The McIntosh MC452's (and MC601's) are amazing amps and I feel you will notice the difference right away in your setup. You could always add a preamp later or go direct to the amp if your source allows.
