Advance Paris A12 v. McIntosh MA352
I'm looking into changing into a hybrid integrated amp. There are a number of them out there of course, but I am focusing in on two. Has anyone here compared the Advance Paris A12 to a McIntosh MA352 hybrid integrated amp? If so, how do they compare in terms of build quality, performance and value (especially since the price points on these two products is so far apart)? Or is such a comparison akin to apples v. airplanes (as in it is a ridiculous comparison)? Thanks everyone!

If you like the sound of McIntosh, buying McIntosh is your safest bet. They are absolutely reliable. They hold their value. No one has ever been hurt financially buying McIntosh. Just be sure you like their house sound. That sound is not for every audiophile taste. Only you can decide what you like. Don't read something in this or any other forum that persuades you one way or the other. Including my post. Use your own ears and make up your own mind. |
@billstevenson Thanks for the excellent - and wise - advice. |
i would take a look at the Pathos Logos mentioned above, looks interesting. I have heard that particular Mac amp driving a set of Klipsch Forte IV and maybe it was the speakers but the sound was dull. Why is Advance Paris earned in audiophile street credibility other than being a well publicized new "darling" ? |
