EXPIRED For Sale McIntosh MA352 Integrated Amplifier (Hybrid)

Further Information

Low price for quick sale. 

In Immaculate/Near Mint condition, with original box, remote control, Manual etc. 
I'm the original owner, purchased 18 months ago. Used in a smoke-free and pet-free home.

Very dynamic, quick, huge sound stage, never fatiguing. It does a beautiful trick of being rounded and warm in the bass, but still articulate with a nice punch.

The midrange is addictive--open, clear and resolving, you hear those tubes from the preamp helping here.

High frequencies are nicely extended and musical but never harsh. 

Compared to the little brother, MA252, The MA352 has more power, a bigger soundstage, is a little warmer and sounds more complete. 

The built-in, load-adjustable phono stage is accomplished, I had no desire to try an outboard phono stage.

After owning a Luxman L-550ax, Yamaha A-S3200, ATC SIA150 2, This McIntosh has been my favourite so far on my HiFi journey.

Pickup is most welcome.

I'm also happy to post at an agreed cost.

Also, a notable and useful feature is the remote control - it can be programmed to learn the functions of four other devices' remotes, effectively becoming a universal remote.

"It is a no nonsense pure analogue amplifier design that does exactly what it should do and that is power your speakers to very high levels without any kind of distortion but with exceptional accuracy and clarity to the music." Winner of Reference Award - The Speaker Shack

"The quality of the sound never falters. The MA352 remains stunningly clear and detailed with loads of power to spare. With the MA352's impressive 0.03% THD and IMD, you’ll be hard pressed to find any distortion even at window shaking volume." - Tone Audio

"There’s a sense of confidence in the amplifier’s effortlessness in terms of its power capabilities and its handling of music, how it functions and its overall execution. It offers a rounded set of features. It’s solidly built and assembled. It looks gloriously attractive. Finally, and most importantly, it plays music to very high standards of dynamic realism, tonal accuracy and sheer listenability." - SoundStage Australia

The MA352 "allows you to experience music to the fullest by letting the dynamics and all the energy, as well as the subtleties and slightest nuances, be expressed freely. The width of the soundstage, balance of the frequency ranges, precision of the timbres, impact of the lows and clarity of the highs: the McIntosh MA352 combined all of these qualities with ease, no matter the style of music we listened to." - Son-Vidéo

"There is no compromise here in terms of sound and aesthetics but if you are looking to make a statement on both, this is the integrated amplifier for you." Highly Recommended. - HiFi and Music Source
