ABOUT THIS ITEM

The McIntosh MC2500 is a powerful solid-state stereo power amplifier made in the USA by McIntosh, produced from 1980 to 1990 as the successor to the MC2300 and one of the great "monster" amplifiers of its era. It delivers a massive 500 watts per channel, and thanks to McIntosh's patented Autoformer output, it produces this full rated power identically into 1, 2, 4, or 8 ohm loads, and can be bridged into a 1,000-watt monaural amplifier. The output stage uses six pairs of rugged complementary power transistors mounted on large anodized heat sinks, driven by a Class-A voltage amplifier and Class-AB output biasing, with dual rear-mounted cooling fans for stable thermal management. It is protected by McIntosh's Power Guard, which prevents harsh clipping, and Sentry Monitor output-stage protection, safeguarding both the amplifier and connected speakers. Dominating the front panel are the iconic large illuminated blue McIntosh power meters with logarithmic response, set behind the classic glass panel with its anodized gold and black styling. Built like a tank at nearly 130 pounds for 19-inch rack mounting, the MC2500 remains a legendary and highly sought-after high-power amplifier.

・Power Supply Voltage: AC 120V, 60 Hz
