you think they have jumped the shark yet? I Understand bringing back the Tube pre's and amps, because everyone loved them. I'll even tell you I think McIntosh has made some great speakers, but so many people seem to have the opinion that the early ones weren't that great, I'm surprised they brought these back. when they teased the grateful dead thing, I truly Believed it would be a new MC 2300, didn't you?

Sadly, i have to agree. The proof is in the listening, but their sales material is unimpressive compared to other $12K speakers. Those enclosures and stands appear to have missed decades of development

It reminds me of the Mac amp stands. Are they ported or sealed? The early Mac speakers were sealed.

Best

They are sealed. Expensive but I’m in for a pair. Was looking for something around this size for a retro space. Very strange that McIntosh lists the price as “anticipated”!?!?

For a truer retro look, you might consider JBL and Harbeth
