Bottom Line: I own three McIntosh amplifiers, one a mega buck tube version. I use the Mc122 in my office (at home), and have always been impressed by the overall quality of the sound. I am feeding it with a McIntosh MS300 Music Server... and it provides many hours of enjoyment listening to classical, rock, opera and some country. As a very satisfied user, I would highly recommend the Mc122. It maintains the McIntosh tradition at a very affordable price point.

Bottom Line: I was extremely anxious to get may hands on one of these. I was slightly disapointed. I have owned many other amps and I think that this is a good solid piece, but for what ot costs comparatively, it is a horrible bargain. The bass was average but severely muted. The highs were full but not dynamic. It was very laid back and and was definitely not the cleanest amp, I have ever heard. I also though that this had the most in reserve of any amp I have heard under 125wpc, not to mention that it is only 80 wpc.

Bottom Line: This is the baby of the McIntosh line, but it is definitely a family member. Nice timbral accuracy: clean treble, lively midrange, clean tight base. Mated to the C-15 preamp with Kimber Silver Streak, the combination just disappears and lets the music through. Ideal for alltypes of music, but especially with female vocalists and small ensembles.
Highly recommended.

Bottom Line: This is a great amplifier. I've been using it for about 5 months combined with the C15 pre-amplifier in a system that includes a Linn Sondek turntable, EAD T-1000 CD transport, EAD DSP 7000 Series III D/A converter, and B&W Nautilus 804 speakers using Straightwire interconnects and speaker wire. The MC122 is entirely transparent and musical. It has a wondrous combination of clarity and warmth. The highs are clear and detailed, the mids warm and smooth, the bass deep, powerful, and well articulated. This is an amp that will make all of your music sing. It has great presence. It works particularly well with the 804's which have at times been criticized for a lack of bass. When combined with this amp, the 804's produce a deep, rich, and powerful bass. I would highly recommend this product. The look is classic, and the construction is rock solid.
