Why We Still Love The McIntosh MA252 Amplifier
McIntosh’s First Hybrid Integrated Amplifier Will Boost Your Home Audio System
By combining the finest of vacuum tube and solid state audio design principles, this hybrid amp raised the industry’s attention when first released. The result, now known as the McIntosh MA252, is an eye-catching amplifier that enjoys the best of these two opposing audio philosophies all while reproducing music at the highest quality level. Blue output meters, control knobs, an illuminated logo, and a black glass front panel with direct LED backlighting complete the vintage-meets-modern aesthetic. The amp can be paired with an assortment of CD players, turntables, tuners, media streamers and speakers to round out your home audio system.
Vacuum tube vs. solid state amplification is one of the biggest debates for music enthusiasts, and people usually fall into one of the two camps. But pitting these amplification technologies against each other is unnecessarily restrictive, and McIntosh has realized the potential of a system that merges the two with the McIntosh MA252, the company’s first hybrid integrated amplifier.
This high-demand piece of technology has been back ordered for a long time, but we at GHT Group have the item in stock at both of our Atlanta-area showrooms. In our opinion, it's shaping up to be an iconic piece of gear within the McIntosh suite of luxury high-end audio products.
