Technical Description
McIntosh Laboratory, the company who introduced the
world’s first amplifier that could be called “High Fidelity”,
has done it again. The McIntosh engineering staff has cre-
ated a power amplifier without compromise, using the most
advanced McIntosh circuit design concepts.
For the first time, the new McIntosh MC2KW Power
Amplifier is capable of supplying the power required to re-
produce the full dynamic range of a symphony orchestra
including pipe organ. This includes driving low efficiency
Loudspeakers in a large room to concert hall volume levels.
It can reproduce complex music with complete accuracy,
with no added distortion or noise. The Triple Chassis De-
sign also allows for easier placement in a room than would
be possible in a single chassis design, yet with no compro-
mise in performance or reliability.
A continuous average power output rating of 2,000
watts and with a peak output current of 200 amperes,
makes this not only the most advanced, but also the most
powerful amplifier McIntosh has ever manufactured. The
distortion limits for the MC2KW Power Amplifier are no
more than 0.005% at rated power output for all frequencies
from 20Hz to 20,000Hz. Typical performance at mid fre-
