Upgrade to McIntosh

I have owned the Ma275, Ma252, and Ma352.... If I were considering sound and price, I would buy the Ma252 but if I didn't care that much about price then I would buy the Ma352. Don't get me wrong they all sound really good and you can't go wrong with any of them.

McIntosh is producing product in China?

Which models are being made there?

I agree with separates.  Gives you wiggle room down the road. I currently have a MC2105 paired with an Odyssey Candela tube preamp, and Sonus Faber Cremona Auditor M's. Sounds really great. My room is 11x20 and the little 2105 rocks it. 

I think you’ll be very happy with your mc275. In my vintage system I have an mx110z with two mc30s driving Sonus Faber Venere S speakers and the sound is wonderful. My main is a c2300 with an mc500 driving Tannoy Churchill’s and I couldn’t be happier. Go with separates and you’ll have more flexibility in the future should you want to upgrade. 

You cannot go wrong with McIntosh separates. Ignore all the ridiculous naysayers on this site that claim otherwise or who make up rumors they cannot defend. I have a C2700 with the DA2 module feeding into two MC275s for my LaScala speakers. It sounds fantastic for everything I play on my system, and I play almost ever genre of music out there. The bass with the MC275s are great. You do not need a SS amp for good bass. However, if you really desire that deep heavy bass, get a subwoofer to supplement.
