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

Power amp or integrated amp?  Do you already own a preamp?

I had a McIntosh MC152 and it definitely has the McIntosh house sound. It is a 150wpc powerhouse, dead quiet and a great amp.   I only moved up to the MC302 because I got a deal I just couldn’t pass up.  The MC152 has the output transformers which is a big part of their house sound.   I got mine for $3400 @ Audio Classics in 2018. 

@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.

@jetter,

Thank you for the kind words.  I read all of your posts as well.  I am holding my breath waiting for the results, the wait is intolerable.

@aewarren,

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