McIntosh is McIntosh .If Advance Paris didn't have blue lights would it sell . I am old enough to remember the Ford Granada being advertised as an alternative to a Mercedes
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!

@biglou13 Yep on both accounts. I've now heard the Adavance Paris A12, as well as the PrimaLuna EVO 300 Hybrid and neither of them impressed me all that much. The A12 was definitely a Ford Granada (great analogy), the PrimaLuna a Honda Accord. And I heard both of them through speakers that were way out of my pay grade (DeVore 96, which I think are pretty fantastic speakers). My trouble now is this: not a single dealer in my neck of the woods (Denver, CO) has a MA352 available for me to hear. I wonder why that is? |

@biglou13 Thanks...I'm sorry that I left the impression that I actually own an AP - I don't and I won't thanks to the advice provided here. BTW, I'm looking for the last amp that I'm ever going to buy. |
