McIntosh 2.1kw amplifier?

Here we go again. Don't you already own a pair of MAc monos that you inherited or something?

It's like any other "halo" or "flagship" piece for a manufacturer. Be glad someone is still making such things even if it seems crazy. Like most car manufacturers, they will make something far beyond what the man on the street would ever be able to afford, but they exist to inspire. "Maybe it sounds OK???" Bet your life that it's more than "maybe" from McIntosh. 

"Maybe it sounds OK???

He just says things like that to be provocative.

I would love to know if anyone has experience with these mono blocks. If that’s provocative so be it.

I do own 600 W mono blocks from McIntosh and I think they're great amplifiers. They do everything you need them to do very nicely.

I do have an interest in their tube amplifiers, and maybe I should consider buying one of those as well as that's what they're known for.

All the other stuff they offer like av processors, etc, may be good but amps are where they shine.

I'll bite...I do not have these, I have a McIntosh integrated though that I love.  I'm sure these sound amazing with the right components.

I would hate to have a speaker that needed this type of amplifier!

Just because an amp is powerful does not mean that it is going to sound good in any particular loudspeaker. 

This amp can be used if you have a home auditorium for around 5...600 sitting people roomwise. I'm not sure that there are audio-video nuts that arrange that in their homes.

@emergingsoul 

Are you a potential buyer of this 130K amplifier? Or is this just another typical thread from you?

Actually I want to buy the Jeep with a McIntosh System and then I want to buy a dog.  Then I'll buy a beach house in Malibu.  I'll then think about buying you a birthday present. 

I’ll be waiting patiently….

So much hatred and disgust here. @emergingsoul , I am just a curious fellow. You seem to post a lot, of benign things that seem to matter a lot to you, making me wonder if you ever take time to listen to music. BTW, the new Infinity QX80, with Klipsch loudspeakers, and Panasonic amplification. When will you talk about that ? Happy New Year....My best, MrD.

@mrdecibel 

Hatred? Your post wasn't too nice either sir.

I strongly recommend purchasing luxury Jeep directly from China. That's where it's actually being made and then resold here 20x more.

@czarivey some Jeeps are built in Toldeo, OH; others are made in Detroit, MI and the remaining models are built in Warren, MI. I’m not a Jeep owner or potential owner but your comment about “made in China” is false.

@roxy54 As the 1st to respond on this thread, you would know nice, or not nice. My best, MrD

...from Chinese parts @ghasley 

Preppers:

If the power goes down, there's enough reserve power in those amps to jump start your John Deere tractor.  Just might save your life.

@mrdecibel

You are right I do post a lot because I too am a curious fella.

I would like to think my posts have merit and are informationally of value. There are some incredibly bright people on this forum with invaluable things to offer. I make every attempt to tap into this brain trust to expand my knowledge. The audio World is filled with complexity and to the extent a really bright person has the capability to communicate this to simpletons like myself it serves to make my day.

@czarivey 

...from Chinese parts @ghasley 

I'm not sure what your agenda may or may not be but, other than the Compass and a few other not for the "North American market" Jeep branded vehicles, the US/North American parts content of the typical Jeep ranges from 60%-72%. That doesn't even address rest of world parts sourcing (ex China). You really should check your facts before disparaging a company, in the event you intended the China reference as such. Me? I'm a free trade individual, quality first.

This thread went off the rails a bit sooner than I had expected...always entertaining...informative at times...

@laaudionut 

Lovely system you have, the diffuser panels look really nice and I'm wondering since their coverage is limited do you notice a difference ?

I'm debating whether I should install some diffuser panels. Maybe my scattered furniture throughout the room is adequate in addition to a few absorption panels.

Thank you. The room is an acoustic challenge. Candidly, their impact is negligible, but likely better than nothing at all.

@ghasley 

I checked my facts with automotive tools usually and I know how EXACTLY Jeep is built including types of steel used.

Therefore advised to get equivalent from PRC, because it's a lot cheaper for the same product.

It is quite interesting how I am the one to get a response from the op, when I am obviously not alone. So, do you listen to music, or have your curiosities for information taken over your time ? Have a nice day. MrD
