My interest is peaked, is the 412 next?

Is there an MC2.1KW on the horizon? :D :D :D

Surely, that's due for an update.

:no:

Not surprised that that there is replacement for MC302 since the MC452, MC601 , MC1.2 were updated this year. Be nice if the MC301 was updated as well.

I'm listening to my system through my old 1.2KW's for the last time tonight. 1.25's are coming in at 10 am tomorrow. What great amps these 1.2's are. I don't know how my new 1.25's could sound any better but I have always wanted a totally updated rack of humongous Mac power amps. Now I will have them and will enjoy them for the next 10 years. May McIntosh live long and prosper.
