This famous, vintage McIntosh MC240 is a sonic marvel. In conjunction
with Spectrum Electronics, this gem of an amplifier has been updated,
meticulously restored and fine-tuned by Larry Haskell (a McIntosh tube
amplifier guru).

The chassis is new and very shiny.

The four power tubes are new TungSols, biased to perfection.

Historically, the MC240 has a special place in the annals of audio. It
was the amplifier that was used by Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys to
master Pet Sounds in 1966, one of the most famous albums in rock &
roll history.

The Grateful Dead used MC240 amplifiers, cited in Phil Lesh's book
"Searching for the Sound". "The equipment was set up in the living room:
the 'lead sled' of Mac amps (four McIntosh 240 stereo tube amps running
mono, one for each electric instrument - two guitars, bass, and
keyboard - bolted onto a single sheet of two-inch plywood), the Altec
"Voice of the Theater" speakers (huge woofer and horn combo speakers,
four in all, one for each amp), and all the drums and instruments. The
volume level of this gear was enough to bulge out the sides of the house
when we cranked it.""

The MC240 sounds so good, plays music so well, and engages one to a
heightened emotional level, it is no wonder that it is known as one of
the best stereo amplifiers ever built.
