  • Engineers rely on an
    array of equipment
    to ensure quality, but
    nothing beats their time-
    tuned ears. This setup
    features four amplifiers
    and some of McIntosh’s
    finest kit, including
    line-array speakers that
    stand 7 feet tall, sport
    162 drivers, and cost
    $130,000 a pair. They
    provide amazing fi-
    delity no matter where
    you sit. If you’re ever
    lucky enough to get a
    backstage tour of the
    Binghamton mother-
    ship, though, sit front
    and center. That’s where
    you’ll get the best sound
    that this American audio
    institution has to offer.
