new McIntosh integrated coming this month MA352

That will be key, of course. The lower model MA252 got good reviews. I believe the amp was based on the MC152 that the online outlets are permitted to sell. This new one seems to have 200 watts per channel like some of Mac's other integrated amps. I'm thinking of selling my BHK pre and going integrated if the new MA352 sounds good. I guess I could just buy a Mac SS amp and pretty much have the same thing with the tube preamp I already have.
 
My brother has and loves his MA252. I really like the extra features and power of the MA352. I think this could be great.
 
It looks very interesting to me... 2 balanced and 3 single ended inputs, phono pre (does not matter to me but for some), headphone amp. It really seems to check all the boxes. Not sure it would be worth the $6500 asking price though... same feature set with a 100 wpc amp and they could probably hit a more acceptable price point.
