McIntosh and Jerry Wexler

I didn't know anything about the gentleman, but looking at him in the picture his expression seems to say "Just listen to this!" with a knowing countanance.

Who wouldn't be tickled pink to own such a timeless and classic music system?
 
I am embarrassed to ask, who was Jerry Wexler?
My main system electronics are fairly similar to Jerry’s, two 2205’s and a C29, timeless is the only way to describe these units.

It can be tough to tell the 2255 from the 2205, unless you can read the meters or discern the "system test" feature, which is difficult in this photo. I was pretty sure on the C32 though.

It's nearly identical to my Florida Room system, except I have the MR77 Tuner.

I think it is a 2205 - if you compare the layout/spacing of the "Power Guard" indicator lamps for the two amps

This weekend we watched the excellent music documentary "Muscle Shoals" which features a photo of Wexler in his office with McIntosh gear. I believe that Rick Hall, owner of the legendary studio, had McIntosh gear in his office also. See the movie!
