The McIntosh McAire is amping up the in-home sound system game through two very powerful 4-inch woofers. The free-standing speaker maintains the iconic midcentury McIntosh speaker design, but its functionality is all 21st century. AirPlay technology and a WiFi connection allow users to wirelessly fill rooms with music from their laptop, iPhone, iPad or iPod touch. We love that its sleek design and compact size can fit in any room that is begging for some tunes and high-tech style. But our favorite part is its versatility—TVs and computers can also be connected for the high-fidelity, surround sound.
