New McIntosh products from CEDIA 2014

[Adrian Low]

Hi all

Just returned from CEDIA 2014 in Denver. McIntosh showed some new products that will be released this Fall and Q1 2015

The MHP1000 headphones will ship shortly. Headphones are a collaborative effort between McIntosh and Beyer Dynamics. One nice thing is the headphones have high sensitivity and mid impedance, so you will be able to use them even with your phone!

The matching MHA100 headphone amplifier features 4 digital inputs capable of 24/192 resolution.
Includes McIntosh-designed and hand wound impedance matching autoformers to drive any headphones. It features the new Headphone Crossfeed Director (HXD) circuit which McIntosh says high quality recordings will "image like conventional speakers in your headphones, bringing new depth and spatiality to your music"

Also includes 50 watt/ch stereo amplifier to drive external speakers.

Two new power amps were shown, the MC152 Stereo amp and the MC301 monoblocks. The MC152 is rated at 150 watts/ch while the MC301 monos are 300 watts per amp. Both are housed in a 6" tall chassis and feature the stunning McIntosh meters

Mc301

Oh my...that MC152 may just be the ticket for my rear surrounds!

Any pricing release yet?

Darn it....they haven't replaced those push buttons for knobs yet.

These look great. I'd like to hear them.

Wonder if any new or replacement amps/preamps are coming. I'd love a C500T with the tone controls of the C50. Hmmmmmm.

I predict that McIntosh will sell a boatload of the amps. especially the 301 monoblock's.

I know. Just doesn't look right.

Mc152 is $4,500. Mc301 is $10,000/pr

I wouldn't mind trying the MHP1000 with the C1000T even thought the MHA1000 is probably a better dedicated headphone amp.

Way overpriced IMHO.

Yeah, I might just pull the trigger even if only to appease The Lady of my late night viewing habits.
