Not that I can remotely afford this. Or likely ever will be able to. But, I am a complete sucker for Mcintosh stuff. Thought some of you all might be, too.

McIntosh is proud to announce our new MA12000 Hybrid Integrated Amplifier.
The fully loaded, hybrid MA12000 Integrated Amplifier is a product of uncompromising audio engineering and expert craftsmanship. Our most powerful integrated amplifier ever, the feature rich MA12000 offers 350 Watts per channel of clean, high performance power that produces a breathtaking home audio experience. You will think your favorite musicians are playing a live, in-person performance in your house.
The MA12000 gives you the best of all worlds with the warm nuances of a vacuum tube preamplifier combined with the speed and raw power of a solid state amplifier, state-of-the-art digital audio capabilities, and enough analog audio connections for virtually any home music system.
The MA12000 is a hybrid design with the preamplifier section powered by (4) 12AX7A vacuum tubes (2 tubes per audio channel), while the 350 Watt power amplifier section employs a solid state design. McIntosh's Autoformer™ technology guarantees the speakers will always be capable of receiving that full 350 Watts whether they have 2, 4 or 8 Ohm impedance.
There are 10 analog inputs on the MA12000 plus 7 digital audio inputs that are located in the included DA2 Digital Audio Module. The DA2 has also received Roon Tested designation from Roon Labs, which can be especially useful when having an extensive library of digital music.
The top of the MA12000 is highlighted by updated industrial design elements. The Autoformers and power transformer are now contained in a new glass topped enclosure capped by a glass name plate encircled with a decorative trim ring. Key performance specifications and a detailed block diagram are printed on 5 glass panels.
Other MA12000 features include: Power Guard®; Sentry Monitor™; a pair of peak responding, trademarked "McIntosh Blue" Watt meters; McIntosh Monogrammed Heatsinks™; Home Theater PassThru; our patented Solid Cinch™ speaker binding posts; a discrete, eight-band tone control; High Drive headphone amplifier with Headphone Crossfeed Director (HXD®); Power Control; doubling of filter capacity compared to our other integrated amplifiers for even better low frequency performance; plus much more!
The entire unit is wrapped in the classic McIntosh aesthetic with a pair of blue watt meters, a black glass front panel, rotary control knobs, illuminated logo, aluminum end caps with built-in handles and a beautiful stainless steel chassis polished to a mirror finish. The MA12000 can be paired with a variety of turntables, CD players, music streamers, and speakers. Learn more!
Ordering
The MSRP of the MA12000 is $14,000 USD. It can now be ordered at your local authorized dealer with shipping expected to begin to the United States and Canada in October 2020, and to the rest of the world shortly thereafter.
