Looking for a McIntosh amp that gives a great example of the “McIntosh Sound”

What is a good vintage or newer amp that has that “McIntosh sound” everyone loves.  My budget is $3k and I want to stay solid state.  I don’t want to debate McIntosh, I am looking specifically for McIntosh.  The amp will be powering JM Lab Mini Utopias.

Desirable piece at a good value price point. I want one...

Justin, maybe 2023 is the year we both end up with a 152.

302 is awesome. I'm very curious about the MI502.

I've seen MC352 for low to mid 3K. Classic Mac sound.

I got a 1969 MC2100 powering KEF's and it sounds house.

I have a mc312 which is a little pricier but not too much. It sounds spectacular I'm running Sabrinas though. Good luck 🤞

You are being presumptuous to declare that there is a McIntosh sound that everyone loves.
