Mcintosh 15W 1

Almost nothing is recorded about the McIntosh 15W 1. The model does not appear in any of the period catalogs, service manuals, or magazine reviews held in the Archive (see, e.g., Audio (May 1953, p.51), which advertises a different McIntosh model). No specifications, production years, or original pricing have been located for it.

The name fits the pattern of McIntosh's early "W" series - the company's first product was the 50W-1. Whether the 15W 1 was a companion model, a variation, or something else entirely is not documented in any source examined. No photographs, schematics, or contemporary advertisements mentioning this model have been found.
