McIntosh MA252 Hybrid Integrated Amp

I was also curious to how much grunt this amp has. Can it grab control and drive relatively in efficient speakers?

Thank you, that is significant. Being an analog guy, the phono pre is very important. My motivation was to simplify or cut down on the components. I find the phono pre to be a major bother.
 I wanted the pre to be simple, MM, and I would add a SUT Therefore the  the built in phono stage should be excellent

I'm using a pair of Neat Acoustics MF7's They are very impressive, but, low sensitivity. I do love them
