    And at $1.5K you're at more than 4/5 the price of a Folkvangr (or at the price of a Ragnarok). For something that does nothing.

    Perhaps this is a lesson in how much fancy casework costs?

    If it's really real, it's a pity: they used to be a very respected manufacturer. Next, they'll be wanting $1,000 for the t-shirt.

    It's a joke, they're making fun of audiophiledom. However it would make more sense coming from somebody like Schiit then Mcintosh

    Somebody linked this before, there's actually other similar "products" on their site, or at least there used to be. They're always out of stock, The prices are ridiculous even for audiophiledom, etc.

    I suppose I could be wrong...yikes

    I worked at TSAV for 3 and a half years, one of the two reference McIntosh dealers in USA. In all my time there, think I only saw one customer with the light box. The clock tho...

    Indeed it and the clock are mostly joke products. If someone did actually want to get either, it would be made to order for them. The clock was a little funny since you could rack mount it in your $100k home theater rack obviously.

    The clock with a sound bar would be pretty cool

    @crenca I've posted other bits of their dumb shit like the plinths/amp stands and the clock before. But this takes the cake for dumb Mcintosh customer-request bullshit. It's like the memes of fat guys trying to get out of the C8 corvette when it first showed up at dealers. Nobody gives a shit how their gear sounds as long as it's got a gaudy blue light on it and a logo.

    ^ Pretty much lol.

    Box looks like a joke / self satire product to me... but actually owning one screams "Tell me you used to be poor without telling me you used to be poor" almost more than driving a raised Hummer H2 with rims.
