Yup, nailed it one, John. They have a bit of the "Mystery Science Theatre 3000" look. Maybe it grows on you once you've seen it in the flesh.

This definitely is not the tube integrated I was hoping for.

Anyone know if that's the price at the bottom of the title card?

I understand its only a prototype. It does not fit with McIntosh's current style but personally I like its 1960's steampunk look. If they packed in a tube phono stage and a decent headphone tap off the autoformer this would be a killer piece!

I don't really like it, looks cheap. I wonder if they sometimes make these items to see what peoples reactions are to them.

It's the tube integrated grandson of the MA230 followed by the MA5100.
