Ok Gang! This begins the McIntosh MC452 Club. Lets see how many MC452 Club members we can come up with.

I have had my MC452 for just over two years. I wrote the McIntosh MC452 Review in April of 2012. I believe my review may be responsible for a number of AA members deciding to bring one home. It certainly doesn't disappoint. My MC452 was originally installed in my studio two channel system but is now serving duty in my home theater system driving the left and right front channel JBL speakers. The MC452 is a fabulous stereo power amplifier. I doubt I will ever part with it. Yes, it is that good.

Lets see how many MC452 owners want to join the McIntosh MC452 Club. Here is my beauty.

UPDATE: 01/04/15

I purchased my MC452 brand new in April of 2011. I can hardly believe I have owned it nearly four years already. This is one of those amplifiers that immediately endears itself to you with all the traditional McIntosh qualities and a fresh helping of the latest in amplifier technology and improved performance. The MC452 is an amplifier that touches all the right places.

Initially I installed the MC452 in my studio two channel system, replacing an MC352 that was moved to the home theater system. I eventually sold the MC352 and the MC452 is now powering the left and right front channels in my home theater system.

Yep, I musty admit, that what eventually led me to bring home a MC452 was Dan's review.....
Skeptical at first but soon swallowed it all as I went through a very similar journey as I broke in my MC452....
Its an everyday part of my life which allows to get closer to and enjoy music like never before....
I will never sell my 452.......its a keeper for sure....

I'm definitely a MC452 Club member........:thumbsup:

Although I know longer have my MC452 it was interesting when i bought it, because it let me hear the "New" Mcintosh sound compared to the older MC402.......I bought my MC452 back in NOV 2010 and I had one of the first production run of 100 and one of the first on AA to own one........my S/N was #71. It was an amazing amp and I loved it so much so I moved to the MC601's .......hey more power and headroom :banana: and that same beautiful new Mcintosh sound:thumbsup:

Here are a few pics when i owned it Nov 2010......
