Morten Sissener The History of McIntosh Founded in 1949, McIntosh is known for offering distinguished home audio systems that deliver the ultimate experience in music and film. What a revelation! Whereas my monoblocks had authoritative bass together with strong mids and nice enough highs, the 4100 sounded like creamy mashed potatoes with gravy that made your mouth water just listening to it.
Semiconductors 31 x IC, 45 x transistors, 62 x diodes, 1 x SCRįinish satin silver front panel, walnut grained vinyl cabinet (original), refinished with walnut veneerĭimensions 18.6'W x 6.5'H x 15.5'D / 473 x 165 x 394mm Signal to noise ratio 80dB (MM), 90dB (line) Power output 75 watts per channel into 8Ω (stereo) Production 1978-85 Condition 9/10 Serial No. We can't hear the negative comments anymore, because we're too busy enjoying the sweet, smooth sound. So, naturally, we took it apart and refinished it in walnut, instantly transforming it into a piece worthy of the moniker. About the only negative thing we had heard about the 4100 was that the original cabinet looked cheap.
