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

MC 500. It’s my reference amp, a 114 lb 500 watt per channel beast but a beast wearing a tuxedo. Smooth, powerful, articulate, at any volume. I could go on and on. Vintage now, but worth it if you can get one! I’ll have mine forever, literally, it’s built like a tank. End game for me.

The Macintosh Mono blocks Mc611 are 600 watts and has autoFormer.

This is a solid state amplifier for all your needs.

Many years ago I briefly heard a MC275 with a pair of Dynaudios.  So unfamiliar amp and unfamiliar speakers. No way to tell what was what.

Could someone in the know kindly explain what the McIntosh sound is, can't say I have ever heard an explanation of it.

@aewarren,

Why the fuss?  You know darn well he was referring to people that own McIntosh, Jeesh.

@jetter,

Surely you jest.  In case you really don't know, the sound is a little warm with gorgeous tone and a richness to the sound.
