McIntosh / MC152 Stereo Amplifier

The McIntosh MC152 is a classic solid-state stereo power amplifier that delivers the authentic McIntosh experience in a more compact, practical chassis. Rated at 150 watts per channel into 2, 4, or 8 ohms, it combines real McIntosh authority with a space-saving design that fits beautifully into serious two-channel systems and high-quality home theaters alike.

At its heart are McIntosh’s legendary Autoformer output architecture, Power Guard protection, and Sentry Monitor circuitry — the same core technologies that define the brand’s larger amplifiers. Balanced and unbalanced inputs, the iconic black-glass faceplate, silver end caps, and those unmistakable blue watt meters complete the package. This is not a lesser McIntosh; it is a fully realized McIntosh amplifier in a more approachable form.

“Impressed immediately with its big, spacious sound and has the traditional McIntosh strength of exercising a firm grip over virtually any loudspeaker.” — Jon Myles, Hi-Fi World

“It was the combination of power, control and overall coherence that made the McIntosh work so well with seemingly all musical genres… Not just a cut-down version of McIntosh’s bigger power amplifiers but a great performer in its own right.” — Jon Myles, Hi-Fi World

If you want classic McIntosh power, control, and presence without the bulk of the largest models, the MC152 remains one of the most satisfying answers available. Dynamic, coherent, and unmistakably McIntosh, it is ready to drive serious loudspeakers with confidence and style.
