McIntosh MC152 2-Channel Solid State Amplifier
Featuring a space saving design with a slim 6” tall chassis, it can fit where larger models can’t. While it may be physically smaller than our other amplifiers, it’s still full of all the technology McIntosh is known for and will perform to the same high standards as any of our amps. The McIntosh output Autoformer™ ensures every speaker receives full power regardless of its impedance while our unique Power Guard® circuitry prevents clipping that could damage your speakers. Our speaker binding posts provide a secure connection to your speaker cables.
“It was the combination of power, control and overall coherence that made the McIntosh work so well with seemingly all musical genres… It can be subtle and fleet-of-foot when needed – yet is just at home pounding out deep bass lines, crashing guitar chords or orchestral crescendos. Not just a cut-down version of McIntosh’s bigger power amplifiers but a great performer in its own right.” Awarded 5 out of 5 Globes. – Hi-Fi World
The MC152 is completed by the classic McIntosh black glass front panel, silver end caps and a pair of large, easy to read blue watt meters that are globally recognized as a symbol of quality audio. Bring the MC152 home today and introduce your friends and family to the performance only McIntosh can deliver.

The Hidden Home view: McIntosh MC152
The MC152 is the least powerful of McIntosh’s current solid-state stereo amplifiers and still delivers 150 watts per channel into 2, 4 or 8 ohms. Its output Autoformers give every speaker the full power whatever its impedance, and Power Guard keeps the amplifier from clipping into your speakers.
The chassis is a slim 6 inches tall, so it fits where McIntosh’s larger amplifiers will not, and it carries the classic black glass front with silver end caps and two blue watt meters. Balanced and unbalanced inputs connect it to any preamplifier.
McIntosh made it for modest systems that do not need more power, and for the surround channels of a home cinema. It pairs naturally with a McIntosh preamplifier such as the C55, and we can advise on the speakers it will suit best. Call us to talk it through.
