Hybrid Integrated Amplifier

The first hybrid integrated amplifier from McIntosh. Combines the best of vacuum tube and solid-state circuit design to create an amplifier that’s both visually and sonically stunning.

The preamplifier stage uses two 12AX7a and two 12AT7 vacuum tubes housed inside stylish protective cages; the output stage is a direct coupled solid-state amplifier.

Delivers 100 W per channel into 8 Ω speakers or 160 W per channel into 4 Ω speakers.

Includes our new McIntosh Monogrammed Heatsinks™ which are connected to advanced high current output transistors that eliminate typical amplifier warm-up time.

Full of numerous McIntosh technologies including Power Guard®, Sentry Monitor™, Bass and Treble tone controls, High Drive headphone amplifier and Power Control.

Sits atop a beautiful polished stainless steel chassis with a classic McIntosh-styled die cast aluminum name badge attached to each side.
