McIntosh announces the MA352-- a second integrated amplifier from the company featuring a hybrid design bringing together both vacuum tube and solid-state audio design principles.
The all-analog design has a vacuum tube preamplifier section powered by a pair of 12AX7A and a pair of 12AT7 vacuum tubes. The output stage is a direct coupled solid-state amplifier outputting 200W per channel into 8-ohm speakers or 320W per channel into 4-ohm speakers, making double the output of the previous McIntosh integrated amplifier, the MA252. Dual scale blue Watt speakers give an accurate power output readout for both speaker impedances.
