MA6500 - Static ?!?
Yes, both speakers. All interconnects tight. Just reconnected the MA252 again. No static.  And, the MA252 is a nightingale compared to the MA6500 which comes on harsh and rude. The difference could not be more clear.    MA6500 going to the shop... 
CD or Streaming... am I missing out?
Def CD.  My wife, occasionally, actually pays attention to what I’m playing. I was listening to my newly received Japanese recorded CD of Days of Future Passed when, from the bedroom around the corner, I heard “wow, that was so clear . . it sounde... 
I love sad music
The sound track from the Red Violin - most of it. My wife hates this. Dave Mason - Alone Together: World in Changes, Sad And Deep As You. Making me more sad since 1970.

I know nothing about the electronics inside of a speaker but maybe replacing a crossover is not too expensive? Input anyone? Thank you.

Yep. Also hooked them up to my MA252 as well as Speaker 1 and Speaker 2 outputs on my MA6500 and also pulled out my Olympica llls. Even switched cables. Everything works just fine except for this one speaker. Now what? 
New McIntosh MA252
Hey donjr,yes, simple and elegant. But I’m gonna miss those big baby blues and a separate button or knob for each function. But overall, incredible sounding, like they figured out how to put more music in there than the original recording. Actuall... 
New McIntosh MA252
Well, I did it. Bought the MA252 on 12/26/18 at full retail. Saved $500 on the Jan 1, 2019 price hike. I’m currently just listening to my Sonus Fabrer Olympica l’s (just moved to a new house and the lll’s are still in boxes in the garage). I do ha...

I’m most interested In your comparison to a ss amp. Maybe you were prev using a ss amp in your office. I’m using a MA-6500 that produces about 160 watts at 4 ohms and wonder if the preamp tunes in MA-252 produce a fuller warmer richer more detaile...

But there is a sub out ;)  
Does this make any sense?
Well - the results are in! Wiring Speaker 1 outputs directly to my SFO3s Hi inputs and wiring Speakers2 outputs directly to my SFO3s Low input is decidedly clearer and the bass substantially quicker and deeper from a McIntosh MA6500 into these 4 o... 
Does this make any sense?
Sorry all, I’m not sure I’m making myquestion clear. My amp has two sets of speaker connections. So Speaker 1 out will be connected to my Speaker Hi connections and Speaker 2 out will be connected to my Speaker Low connections - 4 separate amp out...

Kenny - good thoughts to share. Which amps do you like that sound right but are affordable, say < 5k. Any?  Thanks

effischer - I'm the neophyte; who is A-C and do you think they may be in the sw florida market?all others - maybe the Mc MA2275 would be a good fit. 75 tube watts with balance controls and a rc?

Dave and Troy - I like what I have read about the Hegel and ECI integrated except neither appear to have a balance control and my favorite seat is not centered. What now?
