McIntosh MA352 replacement


Hi to all. I would like to know what integrated amp I can purchase to replace a McIntosh MA352. I’m seeking for a unit with a bit more sound stage. The Speakers that im using are the KEF LS50’s METAS. I appreciate your input.

I appreciate all your input. I ordered 2 KC62 subs already. I’m also ordering the tubes, I'm curious to see what they will do. Thank you all.

@kvpower getting those KEFs is a great move. They are tiny and easy to place yet go down to an astonishing 14 Hz, I think.

(I am myself a KC92 owner. A fantastic sub, but a tad larger than the KC62.)

And as other people have mentioned it is not only about adding the lowest frequencies but to fill out the entire bass range throughout the room. 

Just make sure to don’t make the common mistake and place them next to each main speaker but diagonally in the room as much as you’re able, for that very reason of avoiding bass nulls and peaks you inevitably will get if the bass only emanates from the main speakers location.

I have the Mac 353 which might be out of your price range. I put in some PSVANE Horizon tubes and I concluded these are the tubes that should have come with the amp. Tried gold lion and they were not as good. The Psvane and better bass and clarity. If you were thinking Solid state I highly recommend Hegal which I also own. Believe it or not the LS50 loves current. I own a set of those too. You can get the PSVANE Horizon from amazon and if they don’t work out for you, they can be returned.
