McIntosh Celebrates 60 Years w/ Limited Editions

McIntosh began in 1949, the company you thought this was, Apple, Inc. began in 1979. This year, McIntosh Laboratory is celebrating its 60^th Anniversary. Very few companies have made products that are as enduring. You will toss out your iPod soon after you replace the battery if not before. That 27 inch Sony Trinitron has made it to the basement and is gone this spring. That fancy new laptop will be gone and forgotten soon enough no matter how cool it makes you look.

Chances are that if you have ever owned a piece of McIntosh hi-fi gear, you still treasure it and only wish you had more. After 60 years, McIntosh still has the same appeal.

In celebration of their 60th Anniversary, McIntosh Laboratory’s offers up the Special Edition 60th Anniversary System which includes two MC75 monoblock tube amplifiers and a C22 Preamplifier.

There will only be 60 of this extremely limited-edition system sold per country.

The Special Edition 60th Anniversary System, brings together two revamped components; the MC75 (from 1961) and the C22 (from 1962).

The upgraded MC75 stereo amp develops 75-watt-per-channel into 2, 4 or 8 ohms. It offers circuitry updates that improve reliability and enhance sonic performance. Included in the updates is a custom application of the patented Sentry Monitor short circuit protection. There are balanced inputs and outputs. The stainless steel chassis has a triple-polished gold titanium finish.

The new version of the C22 recreates the look and feel of the original while adding a number of circuit enhancements. It marries the classic backlit glass and brushed anodized aluminum front panel but with new preamp specifications like balanced inputs and outputs and an IR remote(not available on the original model). All signal switching in the C22 is done with electromagnetic switches driven by Digital Logic.

Included with the purchase of this package is the book For the Love of Music, autographed by the author Ken Kessler, McIntosh co-founder, Sidney Corderman and president Charlie Randall. The book chronicles the company’s legacy.
