McIntosh 1700 Receiver
Released in the late 1960s, the 1700 was the very first solid-state receiver from McIntosh.. but with a very cool twist. Instead of going all-in on transistors, McIntosh paired a solid-state amplifier section with an honest-to-goodness tube tuner. The result was the best of both worlds: rock-solid transistor muscle driving your speakers, with the warmth and glow of tubes pulling in FM stations like they were live in your living room.
At 40 watts per channel into 8 ohms, the 1700 delivers music that is rich, full-bodied, with that unmistakable McIntosh voicing that made them a household name for generations of audiophiles. The glass faceplate, green illumination, and chunky knobs remind you: this is classic Mac, built to outlast its era.
The 1700 is a snapshot of McIntosh during its golden era, daring to innovate while staying true to their roots. For collectors, it’s a piece of history. For music lovers, it's pure joy.
