For homeowners who value the emotion of pure music and the excitement of cinematic immersion, McIntosh delivers a sound experience that bridges both worlds—offering the warmth of two-channel listening and the power of a full home theater, all within a single, elegant system.

At Oasis Smart Homes, we design and integrate McIntosh-powered systems that deliver uncompromising sound across every format. Whether you’re enjoying vinyl in the morning or a Dolby Atmos movie at night, McIntosh provides a foundation of performance, power, and timeless design perfectly suited to Troon’s luxury lifestyle.

Why McIntosh Defines the Art of Sound

Since 1949, McIntosh Laboratory has been synonymous with audio excellence. Each amplifier, preamp, and processor is handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail—combining engineering precision with unmistakable visual beauty.

Key McIntosh Advantages

• Autoformer™ Technology: Ensures consistent sound regardless of speaker impedance.
• Dynamic Power Delivery: Effortless performance, even at high output levels.
• Iconic Aesthetics: Signature blue watt meters and polished glass faceplates.
• Longevity: Components built to perform for decades, both technically and stylistically.

For discerning homeowners in Troon, McIntosh represents not just superior sound, but a timeless investment in craftsmanship and design.

Two-Channel Audio: The Purity of Performance

A dedicated two-channel audio system remains the gold standard for music lovers. McIntosh amplifiers and preamps capture the full emotion of a live performance—warm, dimensional, and immersive.

Key Components for Two-Channel Listening

• McIntosh MA12000 Integrated Amplifier: A hybrid design combining tube preamplification and solid-state power for rich, detailed sound.
• MC312 or MC462 Power Amplifiers: Deliver headroom and clarity that make every note breathe.
• C12000 Preamplifier: Dual-chassis design offering analog purity and flexibility.
• Sonus Faber or Wilson Audio Speakers: Natural tonal balance that complements McIntosh amplification.

Oasis Smart Homes designs dedicated listening spaces that highlight these systems acoustically and visually—integrating them seamlessly into Troon’s modern desert architecture.

Expanding McIntosh Into Home Theater

While McIntosh is revered for two-channel excellence, it also shines in high-performance home theaters. When paired with a surround processor such as the MX123 or MX180, McIntosh amplification delivers a cinematic experience with unmatched dynamic range and realism.

McIntosh in Home Theater Applications

• MX180 A/V Processor: 16-channel surround decoding with advanced room correction and 8K compatibility.
• MC255 or MC257 Power Amplifiers: Multi-channel amplifiers that bring precision and energy to surround systems.
• Trinnov Altitude Processor Integration: For reference-level Dolby Atmos and DTS:X calibration.
• Acoustic Calibration: Tuned to deliver even, balanced sound in Troon’s large, open spaces.

The result is a theater system that delivers the impact of a live concert and the intimacy of a private performance—all through the power and presence of McIntosh.

Blending Two-Channel and Theater Performance

The beauty of McIntosh lies in its versatility. With the right system design, you don’t need separate setups for music and film—you can achieve both through one cohesive system.

Design Strategies for Dual-Use Systems

• Shared Front Speakers: Use high-end stereo speakers for both music and movie playback.
• Bypass Integration: Route the two-channel preamp directly into the home theater system to maintain pure analog sound for music.
• Dedicated Amplification: McIntosh amplifiers handle both stereo and surround duties without compromise.
• Custom Programming: Savant or Control4 automations switch effortlessly between “Music Mode” and “Theater Mode.”

This hybrid design ensures you experience the full fidelity of McIntosh whether streaming jazz, spinning vinyl, or watching a blockbuster film.

Room Design and Acoustic Engineering

Every Troon residence presents unique acoustic challenges—vaulted ceilings, open floor plans, and natural stone surfaces that affect how sound behaves. Oasis Smart Homes uses advanced acoustic modeling and calibration to optimize McIntosh systems for each space.

Acoustic Enhancements

• Room Analysis: Evaluates reflections, absorption, and resonance.
• Acoustic Treatments: Discreet wall and ceiling panels integrated into the design.
• Speaker Placement Optimization: Balanced imaging across multi-use environments.
• Trinnov Calibration: Fine-tunes timing and frequency response for both stereo and surround modes.

The result is precision sound—authentic, detailed, and emotionally engaging—no matter the room or the listening purpose.

Smart Control Integration

With Savant, Control4, or Crestron, your McIntosh system becomes part of a complete smart home environment.

Smart Control Features

• Unified Interface: Manage all audio zones from one intuitive app or touchscreen.
• Voice Control with Josh.ai: “Josh, play vinyl in the lounge” or “Josh, start movie night.”
• Custom Scenes: “Relax,” “Cinema,” and “Concert” modes instantly adjust lighting, shades, and sound.

This seamless control extends McIntosh’s legendary performance into the world of intelligent living—simple, elegant, and intuitive.

Design Integration and Aesthetics

In Troon’s luxury homes, technology should enhance, not overwhelm, the architecture. Oasis Smart Homes ensures that McIntosh systems are both a design feature and an invisible integration.
