    Unpacking a McIntosh piece is like a kid unwrapping gifts on Christmas morning. Well at least that’s how I felt.

    This strong gentleman surely knows what he is doing, however, anyone else should remove watch, rings, bracelet, etc. You could scratch the amp and you could hurt yourself.

    Question:
    I've noticed you switch On the amplifier to fire it up. But noticed that No load was connected to the 2 channels of the amplifier output? Is it dangerous that you could damage the amplified with No speaker or Dummy load connected?.

    That is some nice stuff there. 2nd mortgage might get me there. If I had the disposable funds to put a system together like this I'd go the extra yard, and let technicians assemble the whole thing with a tutorial on its operation. Getting too old for the heft. Of course, you'd need a wrap the right space around it to fully enjoy it.

    Why do some high end amps have seperate binding posts for 2,4,8 ohms and others have a single pair that can handle 2,4, or 8 ohms?

    You should remove all your jewelry when handling a piece of equipment, otherwise you run the risk of scratching the amp, and that would be a shame. Very beautiful amplifier, typical of Mcintosh

    • @hanifarjo5434
      @hanifarjo5434 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think because it's meant for bi-amping, so you can and should use one device of these for one speaker: the 300w for high&mid tone and the 600w for low (bass) since bass needs normally more Power! , then another device same connection for the second speaker. That's it!

    Always open new gear with gloves. Keep your fingerprints off that beautiful Mcintosh.

    • @mgedeonj3
      @mgedeonj3 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I agree, but I have seen people put the gloves on before they even open the box. I think they should put the gloves just at the moment when their hands are about to actually touch the unit, otherwise all dust particles will land themselves on the unit and not to mention may cause some scratches here and there, especially in the case of black piano painted speakers.

    Kids are attracted to shiny little lights, shouldn't you keep the cages on even when at home?

    • @WorldWideStereo
      @WorldWideStereo  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for your inquiry. Cages on or off is a personal choice. The cages protect the tubes and afford a degree of safety from the hot glass tubes. The cages may get very warm but present a reduced hazard of a burn injury.
