Description

Description Freakuence!
Everything is in the right place. With power! But calm down, this is McIntosh…. and they make amplifiers with specifications that matter. These 100 watts are wonderfully stable. Sound? No screaming, no sharpness, no rush. With analog and digital inputs and, of course, the blue.
Retail price: 8490.00
General description
Features power output of 2 x 100 watts at 8 ohms and 2 x 160 watts at 4 ohms via Autoformer technology. Digital inputs include coaxial, optical, USB and MCT, supporting up to 32-bit/384kHz and DSD256. Analog connections include two balanced and three unbalanced inputs, complemented by a phono input suitable for MM elements. A headphone output uses Headphone Crossfeed Director. Power Guard and Sentry Monitor protect against overloading. Control is possible via an optional external interface. The front panel includes a display and distinctive wattmeters. Construction falls within a fixed enclosure size with integrated cooling profiles.
Background information
The McIntosh MA5300 is McIntosh’s smallest integrated amplifier, designed and built in their Binghamton, New York factory. Despite its compact size, it delivers 2×100 watts with McIntosh’s signature autoformers. The MA5300 includes high-quality materials such as gold-plated connectors and balanced inputs. The chassis is made of stainless steel, polished to mirror polish. The enclosure includes the classic glass front panel with blue VU meters. Design and tuning were done by McIntosh’s in-house engineering team.
Brand history
McIntosh Laboratory, founded in 1949 by Frank H. McIntosh and Gordon Gow, is located in Binghamton, New York. In 1965, McIntosh amplifiers were used during President Lyndon B. Johnson’s inauguration speech. In 1969, twenty McIntosh MC3500 tube amplifiers provided the sound for the Woodstock festival. In 1974, the Grateful Dead used 48 McIntosh MC2300 amplifiers for their “Wall of Sound” system. In 1990, McIntosh was acquired by Clarion, followed by a takeover by D&M Holdings in 2003. In 2022, the company was sold to a private equity firm. McIntosh is known for its black glass front panels and blue VU meters.
