Ugly as sin...

 

[damacman]

Um . . . yeah . . . I'm not sure what to make of that. Which side is the front?

 

[joeinid]

Could be nice as part of a desktop/bedroom system.

 

[Mike Gibson]

I like the clean lines and glass display.

 

[JWJW]

When and how much?

 

[joeinid]

Absolutely zero details. Looks like McIntosh is on a roll these days.

 

[JWJW]

I like it.

Guessing a hybrid.
Tube line SS output.
At first I was thinking something like a 240
(2 opts, 1 or) . Seeing the heatsink on the side, I'm thinking not the case. Sort of the anti ma230

Unless using tubes as a driver stage. Somebody does that.

Oh, one other thing. Not lovin' the tube cages. Just a matter of taste though.

I wish we had a picture of the backside. Remote?

Those tube cages look like something out of a medieval torture room. Truly ugly!

 

[DC]

I like it.

 

[joeinid]

Not crazy about them either, but thank goodness they are removable.

Those cages are DEFINITELY staying in the box.

Its really just the tube cages that look odd......
I like the chassis, but the medieval torture devices have to go....

 

[JWJW]

Sorry guys....I like the look and concept. Just wish it had tone controls. :-(

MA252 has the same bass and treble controls as C2600/C47.

MA252 is a very tricky model to photograph. It is about the size of a MC2100 for those that remember this amp. Anytime McIntosh brings out a model with a styling change many comment on the web. I would suggest you may want to wait until you see it in person as it draws you in. At the RMAF show it was a big hit with the attendees.
MA252 is the first tube preamp, transistor power amp model we have made.

Thanks again,
