The C500 Preamplifier with a Controller is one of the finest
audio preamplifiers McIntosh has ever created. No design
compromises were allowed in the quest for a preamplifier,
both Solid State and Tube with absolute accuracy, total
sonic purity and virtual elimination of distortion and audible
noise. For those who have been searching for the “Best in
Preamplifiers”, your wait is over. $11,995.00 for the tube version.


Producing a massive 1,200 watts each, the MC1.2KW is the most powerful single chassis McIntosh amplifier. The extraordinary Quad Balanced design of the MC1.2KW actually consists of two complete amplifier circuits, one the mirror image of the other, whose outputs are combined in the unique McIntosh Output Autoformer®, resulting in totally balanced operation from input to speaker output and the cancellation of virtually all distortion.
The MC1.2KW reproduction is sonically transparent and
absolutely accurate. The McIntosh Sound is “The Sound of
the Music Itself.”

The loudspeaker engineers at McIntosh are pleased to introduce the XRT1K, the first member of a new family of speakers that benefit from the knowledge garnered in the development of the rave-reviewed XRT2K speaker system. Two columns of twenty-two 2” black titanium midranges flank a column of twenty-eight 3/4” black titanium tweeters forming a tri-column line design. The new 2” inverted-dome midranges ensure wide dispersion throughout the entire listening area for significant imaging improvement. The new 3/4” tweeter domes are small enough in diameter tomaintain wide dispersion extending out to the limits of human hearing, and their incrediblylow moving-mass extends response out to 45kHz. Such wide bandwidth portends smoother frequency and phase response within the audio band for non-fatiguing sound…a McIntosh Hallmark.

McIntosh instruments have always been designed for long life, with low maintenance costs and highest-quality performance.  McIntosh instruments have always been, and are, the laboratory standard for the world.  PowerGuard protects your McIntosh amplifier from any harsh, unpleasant distortion due to amplifier overload that decreases your musical pleasure and enjoyment.  Digitally-controlled electromagnetic switch contacts, isolated from environmental contamination inside inert gas-filled tubes, provide the most reliable, quietest and lowest distortion switching possible.  The famous glowing blue wattmeters keep you informed of the power quantity you are using.  And, most important, the sound of each component is superb.  For the biggest soundstage and sonic depth, McIntosh is the best.  It’s no wonder that for over 56 years, satisfied customers the world over view their McIntosh products as investments worthy of being passed down through generations.

B&W Technology  How can B&W speakers be made to sound so transparent, so natural – in effect, to “disappear”, leaving only the actual music to be enjoyed?  B&W research and development found that certain cabinet designs, driver design and materials were essential to create transparent speakers.  They engineered internal cabinet brace and sound flow configurations, coupled with driver materials like Kevlar and cobex, for unrivalled clarity.  Most recently, they devised a new speaker design, resembling a gigantic nautilus shellfish.  From this extremely expensive and limited edition design, they utilize for all their speakers elements of this famed “Nautilus” technology:  notably, extensive tubing applied to the rear of drivers to draw away unwanted radiation from the rear of the driver diaphragm, resulting in more natural, focused sound.  In fact, every B&W tweeter uses the Nautilus technology for the most accurate high frequency response. 

Rotel RC-1070 preamplifier delivers an extraordinary level of performance six line-level inputs in addition to a carefully engineered phono input for moving magnet and high output moving coil cartridges. A convenient contour control allows easy and repeatable timbre adjustments. With two sets of main outputs, a 12 volt "trigger” jack, and a Rotel-system remote control for both the pre-amplifier and a companion Rotel CD, tuner, or DVD player, the RC-1070 brings the flexibility and sound quality of Rotel separates within easy reach. The Rotel RB-1080 is a 200 watt per channel with a toroidal transformer feeds separate power supplies for each channel, to precisely control diaphragm motion and give you the best sound quality. Switchable balanced (XLR) and unbalanced (RCA) inputs provide flexible system interface. Front panel heat sinks add a strikingly dramatic look and serve a functional purpose by enhancing heat dissipation even in cramped environments. RC-1070 $495.00  RB-1080 $995.00

ALL ABOUT FM ANTENNAE and THEIR INSTALLATION
By  L.F.B. Carini, Ph.D

This was sent in by an old customer of ours. He actually received it from us a long time ago and was nice enough to PDF it and send it to me to post on our web site.  It is very interesting reading. If you are interested in learning about FM antenna design or just interested in FM you should give this a look.
  Thanks Rich.
