McIntosh
Audio
Choose McIntosh for an amplification setup whose visual instrument character appeals to you and whose matching suits your loudspeakers.
Why buy it
Amplifier role and speaker matching matter alongside the meters; separate and integrated amplification require different system plans.
Signature creations

A power-amplifier route to assess within a separate-component system.
MA12000

Brand story
McIntosh's blue meters and black glass panels are recognisable within audio circles. Its equipment serves both listening and the visual character of a private audio space.
Before you buy
Blue meters cannot compensate for unsuitable system matching; assess sound with the lights on or off.
