In 1949 Frank McIntosh built a better audio amplifier. Not by accident. By design.

McIntosh succeeds today because it continues to build better audio products by design.

The exceptional longevity of McIntosh products owes to a design philosophy established with the very first McIntosh amp: that every component will be created with capacity so great that it will never be operated at or near its stress point. McIntosh infuses State of the Art technology with the timeless virtues of craftsmanship and dependability.

McIntosh is constantly innovating -- from their widely praised Power Guard®, which ensures amps will consistently deliver full power without clipping distortion or audible side effects, to the multiple-driver Line Source columns in their loudspeakers, to their patented LD/HP® drivers, which use aluminum shorting sleeves to reduce distortion and increase output.

And then there are the more obvious "trademark" McIntosh features. Unassuming push-button and knob input selectors actually control highly efficient silent electromagnetic switching. Glowing blue wattmeters display real output, rather than make assumptions based on fixed impedance or voltage. And finally, the glass on McIntosh front panels, which are cut to within 5/1000" and screened with as many as 12 layers of ultraviolet-cured ink.

For more than 55 years, McIntosh has earned a supreme reputation for performance and reliability. But don't take their word for it -- find out for yourself. By design, there is nothing like a McIntosh.
