Manley Snapper Monoblocks or Mcintosh MC252

I've also read that dynaudios love current but the manleys drive them very well at low volumes. I guess after reading how the dynaudios can handle high current in the reviews is what stirred my curiosity about the Mac. I have the dynaudios due to a good price on demos at a local audio shop and have always wanted tubes as I started to build a good stereo system which is why I got the manleys.

I wanted to get some input as far as that mac goes after I had visited the dealer in town where I briefly listened to the mc252 and had read the dynaudio reviews.

Thanks

Thanks

Hello 3amadors,
Your question is valid. I have owned the Dynaudio Special 25's, and had C1's home for a trial, so I have a little experience with them.

In my room with my system I found the McIntosh to give the best sound. I use the MC402. I tried a small tube amp and it did not have the power for dynamic passages. The speakers lacked bass, slam, and fulness. And Dynaudios are very capable of those qualities.

Consider a McIntosh audition in your home and see what you think!

Sometimes I think that there should be a mandatory basic audio education couse (and test!) required before anyone can be allowed to buy high-end audio products.

But then what would we do for fun?

Thank you fot taking the time to reply which I do appreciate, especially since you have experience with the dynaudios, tubes and the mcintosh. I plan to try to arrange an audition a Mcintosh amp at home sometime this summer and I suspect I will find, as you say, that the mac will drive my dynaudios better.

Thanks!
