McIntosh MC402

Has anyone examined and listened to the current McIntosh MC402 power amplifier? The MC402 is a 111-pound 400 wpc (into 2, 4, or 8 ohms) solid-state stereo power amplifier. I am very interested in this amp and would like to hear impressions from anyone who owns or has listened to it. Thanks.

I started a thread with that question but got very few answers. As I understand it, they are very very similar in sound as well as topology.

What are some interesting pre-amp choices -- non-mac, a little cheaper, but balanced output -- for the 402?

I'd like to know the same thing, but for pre/pros. The MX119 looks to be good, but I am wondering also about other brands.
