Mt First McIntosh


It arrived last night....the 2105. The seller said the wood case had been taken very good care of the past 45 years. He had to have lied, there is no way this sweet, virgin perfect case is more than 6 months old!

It sounds great, better than I expected.......and......my God is she beautiful!! I'm 52 listening to my first Mac. I've tried to share this with my friends, but they have no idea what I'm talking about or how I feel. She is SO beautiful, especially with the rest of the lights turned off.

Stevie Wonder, Mel Torme, Carole King and Chet Baker never sounded so good to my ears. This must be what you guys have been enjoying.

Did I mention she's so beautiful?

Congrats. My first Mac amp was the 2105, new in the early 70's. The Mac Rack (2105/C28/MR77) was hypnotizing at night, sound was fantastic.

Somewhere along the line some people got the idea that the 2105 put out 105 watts and the 2100 only 100. Don't know where those extra 5 came from, maybe the glass? :-)

They were both rated at 100 wpc but actually put out around 150. The first 3 generations of SS Mac used a 5 at the end of the model # to indicate it had glass and meters. I think it was nice that they offered the same amp at a much lower cost if you didn't want the fancy trimmings. Enjoy your classic.
