The New AS125 and AS901 Provide a Proper Foundation for McIntosh Products
Binghamton, NY – January 19, 2022 – McIntosh, the global leader in prestigious home entertainment and ultimate-quality audio for over 70 years, is proud to unveil its new AS125 and AS901 Amplifier Stands.
The AS125 is ideally suited to be used with a variety of McIntosh monoblock amplifiers, including the brand’s current offerings, but can also be used with any previous models. A single AS125 can also be used with a McIntosh stereo or integrated amplifier, along with other home stereo system components. The AS125 is 17.813" (45.2cm) wide x 4.051" (10.3cm) tall x 18.013" (45.7cm) deep.
The AS901 is specifically designed to be used for the McIntosh MC901 Dual Mono Amplifier, a groundbreaking product with unique characteristics in terms of weight and dimension. The AS901 is the same width and height as the AS125 but is 11.8" (30cm) longer, measuring in at 29.813" (75.7cm) deep. This is the same length as the MC901, allowing the AS901 to perfectly complement the MC901 and display it proudly on an appropriately sized amplifier stand.
Shared Features of the AS125 and AS901
