McIntosh MA2375 Tube Integrated Amplifier Launch: Binghamton's Blue Meter Still Shines
The McIntosh MA2375 debuts as a $15,000 all-tube integrated amplifier with 75 watts per channel output, MM/MC phono, and headphone amplifier, while excluding digital additional features.
When Bose acquired the McIntosh Group in November 2024, placing both McIntosh and Sonus Faber under the same corporate umbrella, the high-end audio industry showed a quietly restrained reaction, like townspeople who discovered smoke rising over a castle. Would McIntosh continue to make uncompromising American high-end amplifiers in Binghamton? Would Sonus Faber still make Italian craftsmanship loudspeakers, not Bluetooth conference room vibes?
With the new McIntosh MA2375 tube integrated amplifier, the answer appears to be 'yes.' Very much so.
The MA2375 is an all-analog tube integrated amplifier with 75 watts per channel output featuring KT88 output tubes, 12AT7 driver tubes, Unity Coupled Circuit output transformer, and the glow of a familiar blue meter that tells loyal customers that Binghamton's light is still on. Though Bose may now own this house, recent product activities from McIntosh and Sonus Faber show that no one has erased the family crest.
McIntosh MA2375 Overview
The latest example of McIntosh's traditional design approach is the new McIntosh MA2375 tube integrated amplifier, the company's first tube integrated amplifier in 10 years. Tube amplification has long been part of McIntosh's high-performance audio heritage, and the MA2375 carries on that lineage in a modern integrated amplifier.
The MA2375 combines tube preamp and tube power amp in one all-analog component. It does not include built-in DAC, network streaming, or wireless functionality, keeping the design's focus on analog source components and loudspeaker amplification.
The power amp section uses four KT88 output tubes and four 12AT7 driver tubes to deliver 75 watts per channel. The preamp section uses two 12AX7A tubes and two additional 12AT7 tubes.
Through McIntosh's Unity Coupled Circuit output transformer, the MA2375 can deliver rated output to 4, 8, or 16 ohm loudspeakers, providing owners with flexibility when matching the amp to various speaker loads.
The MA2375 follows McIntosh's established industrial design language with a polished stainless steel chassis, exposed tubes, protective tube cage, tube lighting, and the company's signature blue watt meter.
The MA2375 includes a 5-band analog equalizer that allows fine-tuning of the integrated amplifier's sound to match room environment and listening preferences. The High Drive headphone amplifier with Headphone Crossfeed Director (HXD) adds more spaciousness to personal listening.
McIntosh MA2375 Specifications
The McIntosh MA2375 is not a hybrid design like the McIntosh MA252 or MA352, but a product aimed at listeners who want a traditional all-tube integrated amplifier. The key differentiators are the 75-watt KT88 output stage, McIntosh Unity Coupled Circuit output transformer, support for 4, 8, and 16 ohm loudspeakers, a built-in tube headphone amplifier, and full MM/MC phono compatibility.
What it doesn't offer is just as important. There's no DAC, no streaming, no HDMI eARC, no Bluetooth, and no room correction features. At $15,000, the MA2375 competes with high-end integrated amplifiers from brands like Unison Research, Audio Research, Pass Labs, and Simaudio (MOON) rather than being a value-oriented tube integrated amplifier.
The MA2375 is already aimed at listeners who have a digital front end and want a single chassis that provides phono, headphone listening, and traditional analog controls. It's a McIntosh all-tube integrated amplifier.
Pricing and Availability
The McIntosh MA2375 tube integrated amplifier is available for $15,000 through authorized McIntosh retailers, online dealers, or custom integrators.
