American high-fidelity specialist McIntosh unveils the MA2375, its new integrated tube amplifier, for the first time in over a decade. Delivering 75W per channel and combining 100% analog pre-amplification and amplification within an iconic chassis design, this new model blends the brand's historical heritage with connectivity suited to modern systems.
McIntosh, a leading American brand in the field of high-end audio, today announced the MA2375, its first integrated tube amplifier in over ten years. Tube amplification has always been at the heart of McIntosh's audio performance, and the MA2375 brings this heritage to modern amplifiers. McIntosh MA2375: 100% Analog Preamplifier and Power Amplifier. The MA2375 combines a modern preamplifier with equalization and a fully analog tube power amplifier (based on the legendary MC275) in a single unit, delivering the musical qualities audiophiles expect in an integrated tube solution. With its 75W per channel and the integration of McIntosh Unity Coupled Circuit output transformers, this amplifier is designed to guarantee consistent performance with a wide range of 4, 8, or 16 ohm speakers. The McIntosh MA2375, iconic design and enhanced safety, visually remains true to the McIntosh design with a polished stainless steel chassis, exposed tube lighting, and the brand's characteristic blue wattmeters. Integrated Power Guard Screen Grid Sensor (SGS) technology and Sentry Monitor fuse-free protection ensure long-term reliability. Meanwhile, a wide range of analog inputs, including a configurable phono input, subwoofer and preamp outputs, as well as data ports and an RS232 control port, allow for easy integration into both traditional and modern setups.
