OK Mac fanatics, here we have a nearly perfect McIntosh MC-2105 105WPC stereo power amp in extraordinary condition. Cosmetically, this is one of the nicest Mac units we've ever offered! The amp casing itself is nearly flawless thanks to it living in a wood cabinet pretty much it's entire life. It's been thoroughly gone through here in-house by out expert tech and after a bit of bias adjustment & a good solid hygiene session, is performing to spec.
This amp performs WELL BEYOND it's humble 105W rating. It has been tested on our bench to put out over 135 watts per channel before hitting the maximum guaranteed THD specifications. These are highly iconic yet undervalued amps with stunning peformance throughout. They have deep, powerful yet controlled bass and incredibly detailed yet never metalic highs. Mids are perfectly balanced and silky smooth. The MC2105 uses autoformers which help the output stage see a consistent loading regardless of your speaker ratings - this is how they're able to maintain such great (low) distortion and bandwidth specifications even under heavily loaded conditions!
We have this 2105 paired with an equally magnificent MX113 "Preceiver"; also recently listed. We have had so many incredible systems here that we tend to forget just how great these vintage Mac pieces are.
The original wood case in this unit is also in excellent condition. Only the slightest "patina" from age, but cleaned and oiled to its original beauty here at the shop. Don't sleep on this one!
