Compromise Nothing! You need not accept less than component quality and performance to save space and money. When you buy a McIntosh Integrated Amplifier, the essential components are the exact same ones used in our components. We don't settle for anything less...why should you?
MA6900 - Integrated Amplifier
# 200 Watts/ Channel (2/4/8 ohms)
# Power output meters
# Output Autoformers
# 5 Band Equalizer
# Remote control
Those considering a McIntosh system for the first time will find integrated amplifiers a comfortable place to start. In virtually every respect the MA6900 performs as well as McIntosh separates. The MA6900 incorporates premium McIntosh technologies- including autoformers, Power Assurance, and Silent Electronmagnetic Switching- as well as several features that facilitate system integration and expansion.
This massive stereo integrated amplifier delivers 200 watts/channel. It boasts the classic McIntosh look of glass front panel with two huge illuminated blue output meters. Convenience features plus natural sound with no dynamic limitations - what more could you ask? Power Guard Circuitry protects it from clipping, while Sentry Monitor circuits protect it under extreme operating conditions. And, of course, it boasts McIntosh's legendary quality.
MA6500 Integrated Amplifier
# 200 watts per channel x 2 (4 ohms)
# 6 inputs including Phono
# Exclusive McIntosh tone controls
# Switching for two pairs of speakers
# Headphone jack
The MA6500 is a stereo integrated amplifier rated at 200 watts x 2 into 4 ohms. Large power meters monitor the output, which has a wide power bandwidth and ultra-low distortion. Six inputs are provided, and switching for two pairs of speakers. Power Guard and Sentry Monitor circuits keep a watchful eye on things. Loudness compensation and exclusive McIntosh tone control allow custom tailoring of the sound.
MA6300 - Integrated Amplifier
Named CES Best of Show-Greatest Value by
The Absolute Sound Magazine!
# Balanced XLR Connection for CD1 Input
# MM Phono Input
# Preamp Out and Power Amp Input Jacks
# Serial Data Output Port for Each Input Selection
The MA6300 is the latest integrated amplifier, rich with all the premium technologies that McIntosh is famous for, including Power Assurance System and Silent Electromagnetic Switching. With 100 watts per channel at 8 ohms and 160 watts into 4 ohm loads, the MA6300 can effortlessly power virtually any speaker from one of seven source selections: CD1, CD2, Tuner, Phono, Tape, TV and DVD.
Featured in the MA6300 are ThermalTrakTM output transistors that instantly and accurately monitor their operating temperature and adjust bias as needed, resulting in low distortion at all power levels without excess heat. The MA6300 runs cooler than many integrated amplifiers even at peak levels.
Only McIntosh can combine two basic audio components into a single instrument and still retain traditional McIntosh performance, quality and reliability. The MA6300 provides all of this in a more compact, space-saving configuration. Those considering a McIntosh system for the first time will find the MA6300 a very comfortable place to start.
MA2275 - 2-Channel Stereo Vacuum Tube Integrated Amplifier
# 75 Watts per channel (8/4/2 ohms)
# Electro Magnetic Input Switching
# Gold Plated Input and Output Connectors
# Front Panel Headphone Jack
# Patented Unity Coupled Output Autoformer
# Glass front panel with Illuminated Nomenclature
# Unbalanced and Balanced Inputs
Our new MA2275 combines the world class performance characteristics of our highly acclaimed tube control and power amplifiers into one, compact chassis. Created to make the most of both new and venerable technology, the MA2275 relies on vacuum tubes for all signal amplification, with incredible results.
Rated at 75 watts per channel into 2, 4, or 8 ohm loads the MA2275 uses four 12AX7A's in the Preamplifier section, two 12AT7's and four KT88/6550 in the Poweramp section.
If you've been fortunate enough to spend time with a classic McIntosh amp, you know that in addition to having their own distinct look - the famous Blue Eyes power meters - they also have their own distinct sound. Mac amps have their own way of doing things, and the sound they create presents a powerful argument in favor of their approach. Their legendary Unity Coupled Output Transformer is a classic example of this. This output design uses two bifilar wound primaries - one for the plates, as is normal, and a second for the cathodes. Instead of drawing all the output power from the plates, as other tube design are wound to do, the Unity Coupled design draws from both the plates and the cathodes. This greatly reduces the output distortion - always a problem in tube designs. By mixing the secondary windings in amongst the primaries, coupling is improved - flattening the output frequency response and improving the power bandwidth.
