The McIntosh Reference Home Theater System Speakers

Reference refers to the source to which all other similar products are compared. The McIntosh Reference Home Theater System stands up to this claim, helping our team bring the ultimate cinema experience to your home. 

This system comprises six floorstanding loudspeakers with a line array design and 70 – 81 drivers. Line array speakers are commonly used in the music industry because of their even sound dispersion, superior audio performance, and clarity. 

The center channel loudspeaker has 43 drivers and is meticulously engineered to deliver precise, high-quality dialogue and other cinematic sounds. This speaker is voice-matched with the right and left speakers to ensure sound seamlessly moves from one to another, creating a virtual sonic stage.

Preamplifiers & Amplifiers

The C12000 2-Channel Solid State and Vacuum Tube Preamplifier include McIntosh's next-generation tri-chassis design that separates the power and control sections. This isolation delivers the purest sound reproduction possible.

This is combined with two 1-channel solid-state amplifiers. The MC2.1KW offers the pinnacle of performance in home audio power with 2,000 Watts that transforms your home theater experience. The MC1.25KW mono amp has an incredible low, imperceptible total harmonic distortion, translating to a more accurate reproduction of the original recording. 

A/V Processor

The AV processor is the brains behind your home cinema, acting as the central hub. Processors decode the numerous surround sound formats and separate the audio and video processing, reducing distortion.

The MX180 A/V Processor prepares you for the future, enabling you to enjoy the latest 4K HDR video while supporting 8K content. To create the most lifelike images possible, it supports HDR, Dynamic HDR, HLG, and Dolby Vision. The detail, contrast, and color are accurately displayed, producing realistic pictures in every scene. It also reduces latency for lag-free gaming.

It's compatible with today's leading 3D surround sound formats, including Dolby Atmos, Auro-3D, and DTS:X Pro. The RoomPerfect room correction technology compensates for the acoustic properties in your home theater, adjusting the audio output and providing the perfect bass control. 

The Experience

The Reference Home Theater System also contains a reference-level DAC with a CD player and a power controller. This latest technology turns your home theater into a refuge, an oasis of pure sound and breathtaking images that captivate, drawing you away from worldly concerns and into the on-screen images.
