You need to see this amp in person to really appreciate how beautiful it truly is.

[@TLPCHC]

Yes - It is stunning.

[@henrymagallon8578]

Thank you so much for what you do! I purchased this amp and your video really helped and was prepared with my unboxing experience. For those that don't own this. This is not a typical component that you simply pull out or just slip out of a box. It's heavy and extremely difficult to maneuver while unboxing and requires two people, but this guy handled it like a pro. This thing is built like a tank and no heat sink fin is going to bend nor glass is going to break. Paired this MC462 with a Pre C2700 and a pair of Sonus Faber Olympica Nova 3's... the sound is unreal! Thanks for your videos and keep up the good work!

[@TLPCHC]

Superb. Thank you for your feedback and enjoy your new amp!

[@PBlaik]

Just bought mine, being delivered tomorrow - this video is getting me excited 😆

[@TLPCHC]

You will LOVE your new amp. Just remember to check the Ohm's ofg the speakers and connect them to the correct output "tap" on the aback of the amp.

[@cat3697]

Thank you for this very informative video. I'm looking forward to purchasing my first McIntosh piece this summer. This impressive amp will be nice to own and enjoy. Cheers.

[@TLPCHC]

Thanks Cat. You will love your investment in McIntosh

[@B.H90]

Do they make any upgrades to update this mode after being released for 6 + years?

[@TLPCHC]

I think you are confused. The MC-462 is three maybe four years old. And no, there is no need to "improve" perfection

[@B.H90]

@@TLPCHC saw another Openbox video for this model post from 6 yrs ago

[@TLPCHC]

@@B.H90 Are you sure it was the older amp?

[@antoniocarlosquadrosribeir7780]

do you have video unboxing Macintosh mc-303 ?

[@TLPCHC]

Unlikely. A couple came and went without us having the opportunity to do an unboxing video.

[@TLPCHC]

Also - It is McIntosh (Ma not Mac)

[@AudioElectronicsChicago]

I love it👍🏻👍🏻

[@paulhartman3118]

I have the MC402, I have scars on my forearms from placing them into a shelf.😢

[@TLPCHC]

Ha Ha. I know youy pain all too well

[@cpa889900]

Great video

[@TLPCHC]

Thanks Cpa

use a pair of these puppies to biamp a pair of paradigm persona 9h speakers along with a mcintosh c53 preamp/dac connected to a mcintosh mct 500 sacd transport and you will create a sound stage that is so wide,so deep and so pinpointed that you will be able to get up and walk around in it.

[@TLPCHC]

Superb

[@pf5658]

@bizzy . I hear you man. I’m driving my Paradigm signature S8s with a pair of 601s, C2500 and a MCD 500 cd player and I get an amazing soundstage too.

[@M0D60]

After all the Unpacking Amp’s not as Big as I assumed. Mac fan.

[@TLPCHC]

It is pretty big compared to most claiming 450watts

[@stevehamann9624]

the packaging is already worth $1000 dollars. ordering a stinger rocket

[@TLPCHC]

It is certainly well packaged and protected for freight anywhere

[@1112223333111]

all that meter just to say 4 5 fifteen times...what a waste

[@TLPCHC]

What do you mean?

[@1112223333111]

@@TLPCHC THE SILKSCREEN on the meter. It just repeats 4's and 5's. Why not a nice scales and numbers like 1, 50, 100, 250, 500, 750, 1000? Also it doesnt say McIntosh on them. Looks cheap and non interesting

[@TLPCHC]

@@1112223333111 Please get your glasses checked. It says 4.5mWatt, then 45mWatt, then 0.45watt, then 4.5watt, then 45watt, then 450watt, then 900watt then 1.8kW.

@@TLPCHC lame

[@cengeb]

CHROME is 1950 all over. It's also a toxic process, that is basically banned in many industrys...again, it's obsolete. My mono AVA amps 1200+ watts cost 1/3 the price 7 year warranty, and still sound and work perfect after more than a dozen years, I run 4 into my Legacy WHISPERS. I could afford Legacy WHISPER cus i didn't spend absurd money on a fancy case, with useless stuff in a fancy box AND better specs than anything McIntosh. I biAMP my speakers with 2 amps on each side..this is not a pinnacle of engineering, an output transformer is ludicrous in 2021

[@TLPCHC]

Lovely to see you are so passionate

[@jonnywishbone1342]

🤡

[@revo1336]

Not chrome , polished stainless steel.

[@cengeb]

All that wasted silk screening on top is not seen especially when covered with dust in 6 months, and paying for it is another waste. Ever see pro audio stuff rack mounted, ie CROWN, Hafler,QSC, etc....used at live events and studios...not McIntosh which is pricey glitz, not electrical excellence

[@TLPCHC]

Please don't confuse HiFi with ProAudio / ProSound equipment.

[@cengeb]

@@TLPCHC pro stuff has to work, and work to spec, no foo foo involved. solid performance and build, not jewelry.

[@darkroom8317]

Ummm Woodstock was powered by Macintosh... Pro? Yes, HiFi? Yes, & way better than Crown...

[@cengeb]

@@darkroom8317 Only becuase it was local and AVAILABLE, not because of it's performance..Crown is used in most live events everywhere, along with QSC, McIntosh is home jewelry...they have gone lifestyle, as they fade into teh dusk, not long to go, it's had about 4 owners lately, struggling to survive..Crown is up to date electronics, super efficient units, not using 1954 technology, putting output transformers on SS ckts is absolute STUPID. check out some Crown products, priced in reality, with warranty and performance that blows away obsolete McIntosh , yes, Crown doesn't make a $1,000 stupid clock

[@cengeb]

@darkroom8317 and they sell obsolete stuff just like it's 1968. How many owners has McIntosh been on trying to survive. It's obsolete stuff. Output transformers on solid state amps is dumber than dumb. It's 2024,McIntosh thinks it's 1964
