McIntosh has announced the availability this month in the US and Canada of two amplifier stands, the AS125 ($3,000) and AS901 ($3,500), both of which are designed for the company’s own products.
The less expensive of the two, the AS125, is primed for use with a number of McIntosh’s own current monoblock amplifiers, as well as former models. The AS125 can also be used with a McIntosh stereo or integrated amplifier, along with other home stereo system components. The AS125 is 17.813 inches (45.2cm) wide x 4.051 inches (10.3cm) tall x 18.013 inches (45.7cm) deep.
The more expensive AS901 is specifically designed for the McIntosh MC901 dual mono amplifier with its unique weight and dimension characteristics, according to the Binghamton company. The stand has the same width and height as the AS125 but is 11.8 inches longer, measuring 29.813 inches deep, the same length as the MC901 amplifier.
Both plinths are made from sustainable and dent-resistant solid white ash and are finished in multiple coats of jet-black stain with a ‘catalyzed’ lacquer topcoat. Additionally, both products feature a 3 inch thick wood slab for firmly holding gear in place, while the feet have protective pads on the base to protect floors and minimize vibrations. The faceplates carry the McIntosh logo illuminated via power control ports.
