Wow the most Beautiful components McIntosh has ever designed. The sound of these new units will be way beyond any unit they have ever produced in the 70 years of existence. New technology and the finest parts available. As usual the Engineers don't divulge the newest technology and resulting superior sound quality of these new units. And they look Elegant. Prices are very reasonable on these new units.

The C70 is “semi reasonable” based on other pre’s in the Mc line up. The amp, however, you can buy 2 new 275’s for much less and just go mono. The 2152 looks cool, but man...not sure the price point of $15,000 makes a whole lot of sense.

That 2152 has to be something special/new.

125 lbs.. 28” deep!

Comparison:
MC275 is 67 lbs and 21” deep.
MC2301 is 116 lbs and 23” deep

When ARC became part of the Mcintosh group the looks of their Amps started to improve. In the past great clean sounding products, but visually very boring.
