I heard an ARC REF3 driving a MC402 a couple years ago at a fellow audiogoner's house.  I thought the combo was stellar.
I have owned all Mac systems (C1100 and Mc2102) and all ARC systems (too numerous to mention) and a few combinations of ARC preamps and Mac amps--the last being the Ref 5 and Mc 2102. Despite my preference for ARC sound (I have an all ARC system today), I can say without hesitation that the ARC pre with the Mac amp was the worst of both worlds. You are better off with all Mac or all ARC. Either of these combos will beat any combo of Mac and ARC that I have ever heard. 
@mati1979 I think you'd have to try the CJ ET-3 with MC452 to hear for yourself whether or not it is what you are looking for.  Don't rule out trying SS McIntosh preamp, I never thought I would ever move away from a tube preamp until I heard a C42.  lastly, a good power cable on the MC452 IMO will allow the amp to perform at a much higher level.  Some may disagree, but my experience indicates otherwise.  I was recently amazed by what a Purist LE Contego power cable did for my system.  Expensive yes, but the increase in performance was amazing to me.
