@tablejockey ,

I read that the bigger hybrid amps have a switch to shut the green lights off, most likely that one does too.  I love McIntosh it his my endgame electronics and I haven’t had any desires to upgrade.  Lots of Mac haters here and I can’t wait to read the comments, always a fun read

Stereo5- 

I don't understand the Mac bashing. They will  be around as long as there are  listeners, unlike many of those boutique companies.

My guess is it would be a great base for a $75-100K setup.

The only thing about Mac I don’t care for is the green light thing- a little much.

Certainly, sound signature is on the first place and I really don’t care about colors, but colors matching. Green with blue!? What a funny combo:)

My mc462 the lights turn off and it appears when you look at the left know this one also turns off
