Gift Guide: McIntosh MXA60 Audio System

by Jon Chase on November 10, 2009 at 12:33 PM


McIntosh MXA60 60th Anniversary Integrated Audio System (Media Hound, Cost No Object)

If you must have top-shelf, top-notch, wallet-draining audio -- which is the only reason you'd be perusing a McIntosh music system in the first place -- then at least do Santa (and the mailman) a favor and lug home the MXA60 yourself: even though it's a bookshelf system, it weighs a husky 64 pounds. From the company synonymous with picky sonic perfection, and vacuum-tube preamps, the MXA60 is an integrated mini-stereo par excellence: 75-watt-per-channel audiophile-quality vacuum-tube amp, CD/SACD/MP3 player, radio tuner and a pair of beefy loudspeakers that'll rock your socks off (as well as line level outs and ins). Of course, we'd be remiss if we didn't say it also looks pretty freakin' cool, but then for $7500 it better.
