I got one of these, it's pretty damn nice. Really good video of how it works

[@danadevance180]

Thank you for saying so, and we are so glad you’re enjoying your McIntosh!

[@DeVanceElectronicLifestyle]

Congrats, what speakers do you have for them?

[@iampuzzleman282]

Bowers Wilkins 802 d3. Really brings out the mid and tweeter drivers in the way they are intended.

[@iampuzzleman282]

Automatic shut off is not a good idea because normally you'd want them warmed up for 30 minutes before you play anything. So you leave the room after turning them on they automatically shut off by the time you return. Identity. It should be two hours versus 30 minutes

[@iampuzzleman282]

Viewed this again and this a really good video. Hey what are your thoughts about swapping tubes on a McIntosh amplifier? They said it doesn't make a difference based on the way they designed the amplifier. What are your thoughts? I was wondering if telefunken nos small tubes on my 901.

[@TitanCorrugated]

Such a power machine!

[@DeVanceElectronicLifestyle]

Yes sir it definitely is!

[@titntin5178]

What a fantastic piece of kit. Id love to hear one in its proper environment! Thanks for this video, its was good to see it and enjoyable 😊

[@DeVanceElectronicLifestyle]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@elk4711]

Beautiful piece of kit, but please use good lighting and a pair of gloves when handling the unit.

[@DeVanceElectronicLifestyle]

Thank you, I will

[@emiel333]

Amazing amplifier!

[@DeVanceElectronicLifestyle]

It sure is! This beast can pretty much handle any speaker!

[@emiel333]

@@DeVanceElectronicLifestyle I couldn’t agree more! Thank you for your kind reply. Appreciated 😊

[@parvezshaikhul]

Well explained

[@DeVanceElectronicLifestyle]

Thank you!

1 Per speaker?

[@glichasasha750]

This is totally up to you. You can have 1 per speaker, 2 per speaker, 3 per speaker, 4 per speaker, 5 per speaker, 6 per speaker, 7 per speaker, 8 per speaker, 9 per speaker, 10 per speaker, 11 per speaker and so on.

[@joshuad.9243]

@@glichasasha750 that makes no sense. It’s a dual monoblock amplifier. Tubes for the highes solid state for lows. Biamp a single speaker. The comment below says “ I got one” so I was confused.

[@stillaliveandwell5291]

Not a mac fan but really not ridiculously expensive for everything you get. Maybe in 5 years when it's half price.....😂😊

[@DeVanceElectronicLifestyle]

Yes you have one of these for each speaker, the tube amp for the highs and the solid state amp for the lows.

When a company does something like this I call it a monster Bengali.. is it truly necessary unless you have a small club where people come in and buy drinks dance spend lots of money and want to hear monster sound in a space that most likely would be 15 to 20,000 square feet with a cubic space of about 100,000 or more. This would be truly Overkill in a house that is smaller than 4,000 square.. given that you could afford the type of speaker systems it would take to really make this pegula monster come to life and give you open ended invisible headphone to experience. If you understand what it takes to create an open invisible headphone experience in your home. You understand exactly as I do.. monster SPL everywhere all the time all at once.. to the extent that you don't know where any of it's coming from but it's still there..😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@lilcha85]

You sound like you’ve never heard a proper 2ch system.

[@DeVanceElectronicLifestyle]

This definitely is a monster Bengali! We have put these on some pretty large speakers and man its sound is smooth and silky with the tube amp on the kids and highs. We also have quite a headphone collection as well and yes a good set of cans can be magical. Cheers!

戦艦大和？

[@profxkoushik]

They cheap out with power cord 😅

[@DeVanceElectronicLifestyle]

All companies do!

[@cibdizzy]

Who can afford this ? Maybe drug dealers lol

[@schemkesa]

ridicilous

[@DeVanceElectronicLifestyle]

It is a pretty amazing amp for sure!
