This notification just arrived in my email inbox. My second instinctive guess at the MSRP price ($50,000) was correct. Nice product, but unfortunately out of my price range. If it wasn't, I wouldn't mind having having two. https://www.mcintoshlabs.com/products/subwoofers/PS2K

MSRP is $40,000. McIntosh XCS1.5K Center Channel Loudspeaker (mcintoshlabs.com)

That's some interesting history with O'Brien and the 275's. I read he was a good and well respected man. Would you still have sold your tube amps presupposing knowledge about the newer amps? I much prefer the original MC-275 to the newer versions, in particular the tubes that light up in a green...

Sonically, I think it's pretty hard to tell below 1%. Unless the Power Guard lamps illuminate for longer than a half-second on the MC-150 I can't really discern any distortion. Spec wise, it depends on what I'm using the amp for and what the amp is. I wouldn't expect a tube amp to have the low...

Can't argue with this. A couple of personal stories for you...when I was still high school in the early 90's, my father bought me a Pioneer stereo receiver. Not exactly the model I wanted, but I was content with it nonetheless. A couple of years later, I moved to Arkansas to attend college and...

Generally, you're correct; an exception to this would be the MC2300 (0.25% THD) which is from the same time period as the MC3500 (0.15% THD). My line of questioning though pertains more to THD and S/N ratings on some newer amps/preamps as either being stagnant or becoming worse on paper as...

I've always been a stickler for knowing the technical specifications on audio equipment. Low distortion ratings and quiet amp/preamp operation is one of the things that first attracted me to McIntosh and this appears to be the one of the company's main selling points since the 1950's. I remember...

I know I'm a few months late but wanted to reply to this. I've had a C-40 driving an MC-150 for a long while and believe they pair very well with each other. I requested the sales brochures from McIntosh that detailed both of these units when they were manufacturing them in the 90's. The height...

I'm sure the performance of the C70 and MC2152 will be nothing short of stellar, but I do have a few minor critiques. It seems the C70 is designed for users that will be using a turntable as their primary playback unit; otherwise, why are there two dedicated knobs strictly for that purpose? I...

twiii, I've got an MC150 and a C40. I am uncomfortable shipping these units and would gladly consider driving them to Arizona from north Texas if I have to, which is where I live. I did make a couple of round trips down to Bjorn's in San Antonio with the preamp to have a problem with the...

I thought McIntosh would have been quicker. The guy in the link you sent looks reputable, though. I'll give him a call. Thanks!

I have a McIntosh amp/preamp setup from the early 90's that will probably need some maintenance done on them soon. Both units sound fantastic and there's nothing wrong with them except I think they may be due for a recap soon. I also think the meters may need to be tested and calibrated for...
