The McIntosh ML1 MK II is a sophisticated 4-way loudspeaker that builds upon the legacy of the original ML1, which was first introduced in 1970. Its design is a harmonious blend of vintage aesthetics and modern performance technologies. The cabinet is crafted from oiled American Walnut solid woods and veneers, featuring a satin finish that enhances its elegant appearance. The speaker's grille is magnetically attached and removable, offering acoustically transparent black knit cloth that ensures an unobstructed sound experience. The internal configuration consists of five separate drivers: a 12" sealed woofer, two 4" lower midrange drivers, a 2" soft dome upper midrange, and a 3/4" titanium dome tweeter, producing an expansive sound stage and deep bass response down to 27Hz. The ML1 MK II can handle up to 600 Watts of power, making it compatible with a range of amplifiers, from lower to high-powered options. Its advanced crossover design prevents damage to the drivers while ensuring an impressive audio performance. The speaker is designed for both bi-wiring and bi-amping, providing flexibility for audiophiles. Additionally, it comes with a matching stand that elevates the speaker for optimal imaging and listening enjoyment.
