McIntosh has bestowed upon us the MA12000, a 350wpc behemoth, weighing
108 pounds (141 pounds as shipped), with a tubed preamp section and Mac's
usual autoformers in the output section. Cost: $14000. No discounts will
apply, I'm sure. And let us not forget the monogrammed heatsinks. Read more about it right here: https://www.mcintoshlabs.com/products/integrated-amplifiers/MA12000And let us not forget the MC901, a new dual mono amplifier, that McIntosh bills as "The ultimate solution for bi-amping loudspeakers: 300 Watt vacuum tube amplifier and 600 Watt solid state amplifier on one chassis".
Weight 180 pounds (200 pounds as shipped). Monogrammed heatsinks included. Read more about it right here: https://www.mcintoshlabs.com/products/new-products/MC901Apparently Mac does not include in the price free rental of a forklift or other devices necessary to move these beasts around. One presumes that
once positioned they will not be regularly moved. Hopefully
they will never need to be returned to the factory for service.It is likely impossible to view, much less audition, these products as no
sane dealer is going to stock them due to their cost. So one will have to
order it/them sight unseen and sound unheard, and hope for the best. I'm
pretty sure McIntosh does not plan to sell many of these, except perhaps
in Asia.
