McIntosh Mc2KW amp - anyone heard them?

These seem like absolute beasts, and I imagine they must cost at least $20k/channel.
Just curious if anyone has heard them. I've never been able to listen to top-end McIntosh gear and was wondering what people may know

Thanks
Randy

I think current retail is close to $80K for a stereo pair. They are glorious amps. A true destination if I could afford them. Huge, 3D sound. Biggest sound stage that I ever heard. Dead quiet and tremendous control.

Only time I heard them was at the McIntosh fatory in their demo room/studio. Dire Straits "Ride Across The River"....a glorious presentation.
