Prima Luna Prologue Preamp
What pre did you have before? 
This new McIntosh integrated looks like a winner
The MA 352 has an overall gain of 44db. If I’m not mistaken the gain on the 252 is 40db. The 352 is a bit too high for my efficient speakers. I would be cutting it close with the 252. Since I already have a tube pre ( gain of 10db), I could do the... 
Can someone figure out the gain of this amp?
Over the last few months, I have moved my listening room to another area and have added room treatments, etc. My sitting position is a little further back than previous room (listening triangle). Anyway, today I decided to remove the SYS passive p...

I was actually looking at the Hattors at one time 
Can someone figure out the gain of this amp?
Ahhh. So since I have to use a passive pre ( between pre and amp) to lower the gain (super high tube hiss) with my system now( Zu Omen def speakers), I’m looking at super high hiss with the Mac but without a way to lower the gain. That changes thi... 
Can someone figure out the gain of this amp?
Thanks Al, so to get a comparable gain of my current system, I should add the gain of my BHK Pre ( not certain gain) and my Nuforce STA200 ( which has 34.5 dB if gain)?

It's new. I believe dealers are now taking orders. I think it's making its big debut at RMAF and shipping late September. The lower level MA252 got good reviews. I'm hoping this one sounds even better.I would actually consider selling my current P...

New McIntosh MA252
I'm looking at this amp as I'm thinking of reconfiguring my audio listening room. I have ZU omen Defs. I've been going back and forth on various forums about amps to go with my PS Audio BHK preamp. I was considering a hybrid BHK250. Benchmark AHB2... 
Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???
I did hear a Yamaha Pro (MX series?) amp in a home theatre system a few years back and it sounded fine.  
What is the best solid state amplifier you have ever heard?
I’ve always been intrigued by the Benchmark amp 
Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???
One issue with class D that is not from a major brand would be resale value. I’ll never be the one to say I have purchased my final amp.

Tweak, what was the main influence for choosing this particular amp? Did you have prior experience with their gear? 
Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???
In a way, since PS Audio’s trade in program takes worthless junk as trades, the trade in program seems like the publishers clearing house entry letters. To enter, you need to put this stamp here, find this sticker and place it here, plus check thi...

TweakAs stayed earlier, Paul already said MSRP is the price. When I was shopping for M700s earlier this year, the $2200 you mentioned is about $400 higher than the quotes I was getting. The BHK series was heavily discounted ( around 36-40%). I can...
