Review: McIntosh MC-1201 Amplifier
Category: Amplifiers
This amp is, by far and away, the finest amplifier I've ever used. Forget anything you've heard about tube amps blowing the sonic doors off solid state amps. The MC1201 is a statement to the world that fine, warm, rich sound can come from a solid state power amp.
Even at barely audible volumes, the richness of the music is heard quite clearly through the MC1201. Clear, crisp, clean lows, mids, and highs are effortless for this amplifier. The sound literally penetrates your body, and lets you *feel* the music as well as hear it.
The wealth of available energy in the amp's electronics allows for bursts of power up to 4,800 watts! Transient spikes are not a problem. Classical music crescendos are not a problem. Heavy metal rock and roll at full volume is not a problem. This amp can do no wrong.
The sound of the MC1201 is crystal clear, limitless, and effortless. I can't describe it any other way! McIntosh has provided the the most satisfying audio experience imaginable with this amplifier.
