McIntosh, renowned for its legendary audio equipment, is making waves in the audio world once again with the release of the McIntosh ML1 Loudspeaker Mk II. This highly anticipated speaker pays homage to the first-ever McIntosh speaker, the ML1, which took the world by storm when it debuted in 1970.
The ML1 Loudspeaker Mk II embraces its vintage roots while incorporating cutting-edge technology for a truly immersive listening experience. Externally, the ML1 captures the essence of the original with its mid-century modern design, constructed from oiled American Walnut solid woods and veneers with a sleek satin finish. The magnetically attached, removable wood grille adorned with acoustically transparent black knit cloth adds a refined touch to its appearance.
Internally, the ML1 boasts modern performance-first speaker technology. With a 4-way speaker design and five separate drivers, including a 12″ woofer with LD/HP technology, this speaker delivers a powerful soundstage that fills any room. The symmetrical driver positioning ensures a uniform listening area and eliminates the risk of incorrect installation.
Engineered to handle up to 600 Watts, the McIntosh ML1 is perfect for high-powered listening sessions. Its impressive bass response, reaching as low as 27Hz, eliminates the need for a subwoofer. The 12″ woofer, featuring the patented Low Distortion High Performance (LD/HP®) Magnetic Circuit Design, produces deep and punchy bass while reducing distortion.
To further enhance its performance, the ML1 utilizes a custom-built crossover network and over-specified components, ensuring durability and high power handling. The speaker also comes with a matching stand, designed to optimize imaging and listening enjoyment.
With its timeless design and powerful capabilities, the McIntosh ML1 Loudspeaker Mk II is set to captivate music enthusiasts once again. Priced at $6,000, this speaker is a true testament to McIntosh’s commitment to delivering exceptional audio quality.
