McIntosh MA8000 Integrated Amplifier THE WORLD'S BIGGEST (AND PROBABLY BEST) INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER. www.listeningp... monumental ​performance. That's what you can expect from the #MA8000 #IntegratedAmplifier. It combines a powerful 300 watt per channel amplifier with a full functioned preamp into one space saving unit.
"#BestAmplifier" 2014 - Hi-Fi World
"High End Stereo #AmplifieroftheYear" - Lyd & Bilde
The MA8000's 15 total inputs include 6 unbalanced, 2 balanced, 2 phono and 5 digital inputs - ensuring it has enough connections and modern technology to keep all your music sources connected and sounding great well into the future. The 5 dedicated digital inputs can decode your digital music up to 32 bits and 192kHz for high resolution audio playback. The discrete, analog eight band tone control is assignable by input and allows for precise, manual adjustment that lets your favorite songs sound better than ever.
"It's just the right piece of equipment to have you dipping into your musical collection for hours on end whether it be on vinyl, CD or in digital download form... It has massive reserves of power making it capable of driving almost any loudspeaker on the planet yet a detail and subtlety to its presentation that is truly beguiling." - Hi-Fi World
The Moving Magnet and Moving Coil phono sections can be adjusted to completely match your turntable and phono cartridge, allowing your prized record collection to shine like never before. The Home Theater Pass Through feature will allow for seamless integration into your existing multi-channel theater system.
"[An] amplifier with everything one needs... One of the best amplifier purchases for those who want everything in one place." - Lyd & Bilde
With an impressive 300 watts per channel, the amplifier section has an abundance of power to effortlessly drive virtually any loudspeaker. The included world famous #McIntosh #Autoformer guarantees your speakers will always receive the full 300 watts regardless of their impedance, while Power Guard® will prevent clipping that could damage your speakers. Our new High Drive headphone amplifier features increased gain and output power, and is optimized for virtually all headphone types for the ultimate personal listening experience.
"The MA8000 Integrated Amplifier is an incredible achievement in engineering, as it is one of the most musically involving amplifiers I have had the pleasure of listening to." - The Speaker Shack
The entire unit is housed in a beautiful polished stainless steel chassis that not only compliments the classic glass front panel, knobs and brushed aluminum handles, but also your room decor

I agree, cinqo7. It's a sign that he takes all of this expensive stuff for granted. Some of the stuff he flings also hits the surrounding equipment. He doesn't care.

McIntosh sure builds their gear like a tank. This beast is huge. Is this large than the 601s ? I have a pair of 601 but have never seen this unit in person.
@TLPCHC
@TLPCHC 6 лет назад
The MA-8000 is a very simular size to one of the 601 mono blocks. The rear binding posts might add a small additional depth, but not much.

Reading deeper into the comments about handling. If the way he handles it shocks you , imagine what they could go through on the way to you ..new or previously owned. I could use mine to hold up the corner of my house and I don't think it would hurt it ..well that's going a bit overboard but I do think the comments about tossing cardboard and tools, dropping the ONE HUNDRED POUND AMP the last several inches on carpet are from people that should consider decaf and a vacation. For the love of god get over yourself.

With all due respect, you're a bit rough with gear. When you tipped it over, you sort of dropped it.
@TLPCHC
@TLPCHC 6 лет назад
Pretty fare comment. These amplifiers are extremely heavy so difficult to move at the best of times, but should they "get away from us" the carpet underneath is thick, with good underlay, it is well looked after (despite trying to look like we are rough) .

@whocares.20 5 лет назад
At the price of that thing, I would hope it take a bump on the carpeted floor. Might knock out that cheesy 1980's Casio style LCG display. Really? At that price/performance level, a 3$ LCD display? Probably to cut costs to save for the gold plated ground terminals. Sorry, no offense, but I think audiophile gear is a big waste of money.

Hi.. great video.. I am interested on how you have placed your monitor speakers behind. (Dynaudio..?). It is against a book rack. does this make sound better than against a solid wall. >> Thanks
@TLPCHC
@TLPCHC 6 лет назад
Hi Kevin. The backdrop top the video's is a corner of our upstairs stereo showroom / libary. It is Wallpaper (not an actual bookcase). We have two stereo listening & demo rooms on the top floor, and a third on the ground floor, so the set up you see is just a display. Bookcases a superb though, as they are great defusers of the sound and also bass traps.

@TLPCHC
@TLPCHC 6 лет назад
Speakers make the most engineered influence over the sound you will hear. This amplifier is capable of driving a very wide variety of speakers. So try both Paradigm and DynAudio, and depending on the size of listening space some of the larger PMC

@joesbarbecue1 5 лет назад
First off, I'd be so excited, I'd probably cut my hands on the steel strapping. Next, I'd probably spend an hour looking for that stupid binding post tool. But yeah, I get totally tweaked when opening packages of any sort. On the other hand, I think I would have kept most of the parts together. I am disappointed though. Did anyone else want to see him blow those two bookshelf speakers up with that amp?

@slotslidershoslotcars
@slotslidershoslotcars 5 лет назад
Relax ..its fine , it weighs 100lbs on its own and about 130lb fully boxed. These are built like tanks , nothing he is doing is going to hurt it one bit. He throws a manual and some cardboard and people are in shock and have chest pains. Last time I checked there are no egg shells used in production of these magnificent & legendary amps.

What a tool. Anyone who just tosses the accessories like they're dime store crap shows no respect for the product. Just shows casual indifference to quality. Just kills me that clowns like this guy get to handle products way beyond their understanding of the engineering and quality build. He should be selling TVs at Target or Best Buy.
@TLPCHC
@TLPCHC 6 лет назад
Hi Ken, thank you for your feedback. Nothing gets damaged. We are just trying to be relaxed about these video's. The products are always cared for, and the packaging lands on thick carpet with good, deep underlay. Nothing ever gets damaged. As for Best Buy... I have been doing this HiFi thing for nearly 20 years. I own two stores, and have 15 staff (I do sell the odd TV too I guess).
