The McIntosh MC1502 takes the audio output of your home entertainment system to a whole new level. The MC1502 follows in the footsteps of the award-winning MC2152 Limited Edition 70th Anniversary Vacuum Tube Amplifier and manages to measure up to its performance with a form that mirrors the beloved MC275. The MC1502 doubles up by producing 150 watts per channel while also outperforming the MC275 with a 112dB signal-to-noise ratio.
Two sets of four of the eight total KT88 output vacuum tubes are assigned to each stereo channel while another four 12AX7A and four 12AT7 vacuum tubes are allocated to each audio channel for the balanced and boisterous sound with which McIntosh Labs is synonymous. Unity Coupled Circuit output transformer technology makes this amplifier compatible with nearly any speaker with an Ohm impedance of 2, 4, or 8. The enhanced audio the MC1502 easily connects to those speakers via McIntosh’s patented Solid Cinch speaker binding posts. That makes it easy to set the amplifier up to upstage the previous incarnation of your home entertainment system.
