HI, I AM LOOKING FOR A PRE-AMP TO GO WITH THE MCINTOSH MC352 & B&W N803s. 80/20 MUSIC/MOVIES. I AM CONSIDERING THE KRELL SHOWCASE, ANTHEM AVP20 & THE BRYSTON SP1. YOUR ADVICE ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!
How about the McIntosh C2200 - the new tube preamp from Mac. It's a killer preamp and a great match with the MC352. We've sold it with the 602 and 1201 mostly, but it would be great on a 352 as well.
the Mc C2200 is excellent indeed for tube quality sound. Their solid state preamps are fantastic too (especially the simple C15 in my opinion although it is now discontinued). Don't know your candidates well enough to say anything about them though.
I own the C2200 and use it with the 352. Great match. Had the Mark Levinson 38S prior to it. No contest for my taste. the Mac has a naturalness to it that the 38S did not and it is no slouch in the market place. If you are not into tubes than the C42 by Mcintosh may just be what you need.
