What else to know about the McIntosh MA 6300?

"As a first venture into the McIntosh family of components, the MA6300 is a natural for me. It’s rare that you can say anything you purchase is an investment, yet here it is, the MA6300. I’m pretty sure the MA6300 was designed to bring a new audiophile client into the fold; reliable solid-state construction, a versatile array of inputs, options to upgrade amplifiers (hopefully McIntosh), quality remote, reasonable price, and of course the McIntosh name and all that implies. For nitpicks, there is a slight edginess to the highs, typical of solid state, and there are times the MA6300 can also sound slightly dry, by that I mean it is always reserved. It basically remains neutral, not adding its own signature to the sound, and it does this very well. I would have liked tone controls, but of course, tone controls go away when you reach this level of performance. It’s very easy to like McIntosh products – the sexy UV meters glowing green, more than adequate power to drive the most demanding speakers, very low distortion, and a neutral presentation. The MA6300 will surely extend the Mr. Mac’s family into homes of music lovers and audiophiles alike, regardless of budget. The MA6300 gives you options and an opportunity to afford a piece uniquely American that you’ll be happy with for a long, long time." - Secrets of Home Theater and Hifi

In 1956, the brand built their original facility in New York, according to the official brand website.
