I vote for the MA252. For the price of $3500 it has no business sounding as good as it does.

for $3500 there's no excuse for not sounding good !

Dan D’Agostino’s new amp, Relentless. It won’t break the Bank at all. It will crush it to oblivion 🤪

I’m borrowing a friend’s Nova 300. I must say, it sounds pretty awesome.

That made me laugh!!! After factoring in my wife getting to buy something for the house after I select an amp, a bank-crusher would be a double whammy!!!

The MA252 does seem pretty intriguing. Any AA’ers have experience with the McIntosh MA252 that have also heard the Peachtree or PrimaLuna as well?

I just went through this same exercise, including the carvernous room with high ceilings. We wanted to be able to provide music for gatherings and dinner parties as a background for the festivities. After much reading I decided on the NAD C 388 with the BluOs module. Here are a pair of reviews which describe the product:
https://www.gramophone.co.uk/feature...onth-nad-c-388 http://blog.son-video.com/en/2016/12/review-nad-c388/ I am very pleased with the performance of the unit so far using it to drive a pair of PSB Synchrony 2b speakers. We use the unit to stream Tidal and our local NPR station via bluetooth. I contacted NAD tech support inquiring about whether the unit's dac will fully unfold mqa and they responded that it will. It has a smooth but authoritative sound and will play larger speakers (Sopra 3s and B&W CM10s) without difficulty. It retails for about $2K. |
