About the MC2000
The McIntosh MC2000 is a stereo vacuum tube power amplifier produced from 1999 to 2000 as a limited-edition commemorative model marking McIntosh's 50th anniversary, with only 500 units manufactured. It delivers 200 watts per channel using a complement of KT88 output tubes and McIntosh's Unity Coupled Circuit output transformers, providing stable operation into 2, 4, or 8 ohm speaker loads. The MC2000 features a frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz, total harmonic distortion of 0.5%, and includes a Power Guard circuit for protection against clipping. Its distinctive illuminated front panel, gold-finished chassis, and commemorative plaque make it one of the most visually striking and collectible amplifiers McIntosh has ever produced.
