McIntosh's first integrated hybrid amplifier.
- It combines the best of vacuum tube and solid-state circuit designs to create a visually and acoustically stunning amplifier.
- The preamplifier stage uses two 12AX7a tubes and two 12AT7 tubes enclosed in stylish protective cages; the output stage is a solid state direct-connected amplifier.
- Provides 100 watts per channel for 8 ohm speakers or 160 watts per channel for 4 ohm speakers.
- Includes new McIntosh Monogrammed Heatsinks™ connected to advanced high-current output transistors that eliminate typical amplifier warm-up time.
- Packed with many McIntosh technologies including Power Guard®, Sentry Monitor™, bass and treble tone control, High Drive headphone amplifier and power control.
- It sits atop a beautiful polished stainless steel frame with a cast aluminum name badge on each side in classic McIntosh style.
