Somewhat obscure Mcintosh amps.


I have the chance to buy a used Mcintosh MC126 6 channel amp for a decent price and can't find a whole lot about it or anybody that has owned one. I would be using it in the mono "bridged" mode which basically triples the power output.

I have seen a few MC7106 for sale which is similar but had never came across the MC126 until recently.

What single channel are you intending?

Just to clarify what I found:

120 wpc x 6 at 4 ohms; 80 wpc x 6 at 8 ohms

"CONFIGURABLE POWER OUTPUT. Channels 1/2, 3/4, and 5/6 can be operated either in the normal mode (120W x 6) or with each channel pair independently bridged (275W x 3). Configurations of 5 and 4 channels are also possible."

no mention of bridged MONO or 360 wpc. Perhaps they mention it in the full manual

seems they only made it a few years: 2001-2003

might be hard to find parts if needed.
