Whenever customers ever visit our Preston showroom one of the most talked about products is the stunning MA252 amplifier from McIntosh Labs.

What makes the MA252 an instant classic is very simple, it perfectly blends the very best in tube and solid state technology. The valves produce a detailed, warm and natural sound, coupled with 100 watts of solid state power (into 8 ohms), this ensures there is always enough power in reserve to drive many different types of speakers. In fact our favourite pairing is with the equally stunning Sonos Faber Sonetto III floor-standing loudspeakers (available in 4 finishes). As the Sonetto III are a 4 ohm speaker the MA252 will actually output an impressive 160 watts of power.
The MA252 includes:
- 1 x MM Phono Input
- 1 x Balanced XLR Input
- 2 x Unbalanced RCA inputs
- 1 x Sub (mono) RCA output
Therefore with plenty of inputs the MA252 can serve as the central hub for any modern Hi-Fi system e.g. Turntable, Streamer, CD etc.
The MA252 also includes a simple to use remote so you can control the amplifier from your listening position.
