Looking for SS power amp for...


Looking for SS power amp for my McItosh C22 preamp and Focal Electras Speakers. Don’t think that I need more than 150 wpc. Mac MC-152 looks like the natural choice, but my question is if I’m planning to spent 3-3.5K may me I’m missing something better? I’m listening mostly to jazz, blues and chamber music.

The MC152 is an excellent sounding amp, having owned one myself.  It actually puts out 238wpc.  I believe The Music Room has 4 for sale right now and price seems good.  The amp retails now for 5K.
Look at the Digital Amplifier Company (DAC). Tommy O is a great guy and will set you up. I have his amps and like how they perform. Very quiet and tuneful that deliver music not just sound.

I have been enjoying driving a pair of Focal Sopra No2's with a McIntosh MC452 for about three years now and I do believe that the McIntosh amps with autoformers on the output stage pair really well with those Focal tweeters...so, I'd second the notion of snagging a pre-owned MC152 if purchased from TMR.

I've done business with TMR in the past, straight up people there.
Thanx ejr1953! Looks like I'll go for MC 152. I wonder what TT and phono cart do you use in your system? I have Linn LP 12 and I'm choosing btw Hana HS & Ortofon Black 2M. I definitely appreciate your opinion.
