… think they sound fuller, richer, warmer and more musical… like I prefer the 452 over the 462… just my taste…
 
The last time I auditioned any amplifiers was at the local McIntosh dealership in 2006. Listening to those amps of that era I did notice subtle differences in various models of their solid state amps.

I'm told now the current incarnation of the MC275 actually has bass now. I lot of people have this amp from various decades and love their tube sound.
