I currently have a pair of B&W 802N's driven by a McIntosh MC252. I have the opportunity to purchase the new MC462. Do you feel the MC462 will be a big improvement? Worth the investment? Too much power?
If I was matching amps to loudspeakers I would pass on the BigMac and match the B&Ws with a Parasound A21+. It will give those loudspeakers a little flavor the Mac just doesn't have.
I agree with Russ...I've own both the mc402 and 452...I'd pass on that pairing,I would suggest an amp with better bass control,more speed and less bloat
I have a 462, it’s a great amp. I had a pass 250.8 prior. Both are excellent.
I think the 462 is actually just a shade more neutral, which surprised me. It’s neutral, and very powerful. If it matters to you, it also measures quite well.
I think that yes, it would be an improvement. But more so if you listen a bit louder, and enjoy dynamics. A shade more neutral than the 252 I would also think.
