I think the lower-end SS integrateds don't have them. The top-of-the-line does, though.
Please see this web site for additional history and background on McIntosh products.

Most of their amps do have the autoformers, but there are exceptions. One was the MC2002 (200 wpc solid-state) and the one I own, the MC7200 (also 200 wpc). And as stated before, their multi-channel amps don't have them.
Having owned many Mac amps, with the exception of the newest models, I personally don't care for the autoformers. That's just my opinion. I also find it curious that other high-end manufacturers don't use them. It's a carry-over from the old tube days. It's been a good selling feature for Mac. I'm hopeing my MC7200 hangs in for many more years!
