With a long history as the amplifier of choice for artists and demanding listeners alike, I’ve lusted after McIntosh audio gear for years. In fact (full disclosure), I once bid $200 on a McIntosh MC-2300 600W amp used in the Grateful Dead’s “wall of sound” stage sound system. My jaw dropped when I saw that it went for over $25,000.
With that in mind, the McIntosh RS150 Wireless Loudspeaker looks like a bargain at $1,200. Much like our audio editor's roundup of the best wireless speakers for sound and style, the McIntosh shakes up traditional Hi-Fi conventions with a modern audio solution that puts as much emphasis on home style as it does on sound quality.
