I have to see down the line what bookshelves to pair it up. The only thing I have lying around at the moment are some old Wharfedale diamonds.
I think my R900 paired with an $800 ss Rotel power amp, sound better than MA252 with LS50, maybe need time to run in.

I promise, you will be raving like the rest of that have bought a 252. The little sucker is something VERY special.

Hi all,

To the opinion of the already happy owners of this little beauty, would it be capable to drive a pair of Jbl 4315 SM ?

Thanks

Nope. No headphones. Sorry...

I've really been enjoying the Ma252/Kef ls50 combo; being said that it is a "gateway" mc product...I just bit and bought another mc product...maybe through the back gate though...its a nice MC2505. I'm powering some ohm Microwalsh talls and I cannot stop listening! I'm a big fan of Christian McBride and Marcus Miller and this combo really is something!!

Sounds like a few people are loving the LS50/MA252 combo. Are you using a sub too?
