The MA252 Integrated Amplifier is the first hybrid integrated amplifier from McIntosh. Taking retro design cues from the legendary McIntosh MC275 Vacuum Tube Amplifier, the MA252 combines the best of vacuum tube and solid state circuit design to create an amplifier that’s both visually and sonically stunning.

"Carved like a boat designed to surf all the waves of music." Listening to it proved it to be "fast, powerful, precise... but without losing the sublime McIntosh charm." Presented with ON Magazine Top Audio Award. - ON Magazine

Daniel Hertz at Lavish!

Musician, recording engineer, equipment designer, and serial entrepreneur, Mark Levinson is a legend in the audio world.

Based in Venice, Italy, his latest company, Daniel Hertz S.A., specializes in creating natural-sounding loudspeakers and electronics for music lovers who demand the very best.  Lavish Hi-Fi is North America’s only demonstrating dealer for the M1 flagship loudspeakers, M5 power amplifiers, and M6 preamplifier.

The entire system is designed for extreme high efficiency, lifelike dynamics, and natural sound at every listening level. Built in the Petrof piano factory in Prague, the M1 can fill a small room or large auditorium with the same sound that musicians and producers heard in the recording studio or in the concert hall. Come hear what you have been missing in all of those favorite recordings!

We also have the M1’s smaller sibling, the M10 speaker, and the Wi-Fi/Bluetooth-enabled M9  integrated amplifier capable of 200 watts per channel, but weighing only ten pounds—extraordinary performance in an affordable small package.

Daniel Hertz audio products are truly several orders of magnitude beyond anything else on the market. For an audition, you can travel to Venice, Vienna, or Bangkok—or Santa Rosa, California.

Streaming continues to grow as the preferred method of music delivery, but physical media is still strong. Contrary to what many people believe, the CD is not dead.

Statistics from the Recording Industries Association of America (RIAA) report that digital downloads and streaming accounted for approximately 34% each of the industry's American revenue during the 2015 fiscal year. Downloads declined about 10% from the previous year, while streaming rose by 6%. Physical media—CDs and LPs—accounted for almost 29% of revenue.
