The Mani-2 Signature paired with the MC252 does make a nice match in my opinion. That depends always on the volume level you are listening. In my case, I often hit 60% on the volume of my C46 and at this point, the MC252 seems saturated because the needles of the meters are hitting a bit below 250W. Because of my listening habits, I believe the MC452 would be better suited. And the Mani-2 Signatures are known to be power hungry so now I understand. With the MC252, looks like I have not much reserve above 50% volume which is where I like to listen to music (i.e. loud!)

But, soundwise, these Mani-2 Signature never cease to impress me. With the right gear, they throw some bass that is difficult to believe from a such small enclosure.
