Free Shipping on *ALL* Electronics (Excluding Speakers, Contiguous 48 US States Only)

Super flexible and powerful Lucasfilm THX rated theater amplifier from McIntosh.

SIX x 100 Watt amplifier channels on a single chassis!

Plus McIntosh's patented and exclusive POWER GUARD circuit.

You can configure this beast in the following configurations:

3 x 300W (3 channels total)

4 x 100W and 1 x 300W (3 channels total )

6 x 100W (6 channels total)

2 x 100 *and* 2 x 300 (4 channels total)

Condition:

The 6 x LED VU meters, not activated in the pictures, are simply gorgeous and very useful.  There is also an adjustable display brightness control as shown on the back panel photo in this listing. The standard McIntosh incandescent front faceplate lights determined to be dim or non-functional were replaced. Even the bottom THX logo lights up!

This unit, like almost all other McIntosh units, uses a front glass face plate which provides an attractive and very durable finish. The lettering will never show wear.

This particular sample is in super clean condition without any noticiable scratches or blemishes. It has been fully tested in our lab to manufacturer specifications.

*Note that a current McIntosh home theater amp will set you back over $7k*

The SkyFi Testing Process for Solid State Amplifiers:

We start with a visual inspection of all internal components to make sure there are no signs of stress or aging. Capacitors are checked for telltale sings of bulging or leaking, resistors are checked for signs of overheating or cracking, and transistors are checked for signs of stress or damage.

We then power up the unit carefully and run a simple 1k sine wave while monitoring the output on an oscilloscope for signs of distortion or noise. Finally, we run the amplifier to its full rated power into the appropriate resistive load provided by our Sencore amplifier tester. If there is an issue, it will usually be noticeable at this point. If everything reads clean, we will often test for THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) measured by our Keithley distortion meter, and compare it against the original manufacturers specifications. The amplifier then remains powered on to "burn in" on our test bench for a few hours to make sure there are no heat related issues. If there are balanced inputs available they will be also be tested.

Final testing involves pushing actual music thorough the amplifier. We've learned over time that some issues are only noticeable to a trained ear while listening to familiar source material. Our test bench has reference vintage KEF speakers that we're very familiar with which quickly reveal any discrepancies. Some amplifiers will then move into our listening room where they are tested with our in-house reference speakers of choice.
