McIntosh instruments have always been designed for long life, with low maintenance costs and highest-quality performance. McIntosh instruments have always been, and are, the laboratory standard for the world. It's no wonder that since 1949, satisfied customers the world over view their McIntosh products as investments worthy of being passed down through generations.
McIntosh is the Best
Since the Golden Age of Audio, McIntosh Laboratory, Inc. has defined the highest quality in sound reproduction and continues to set the standard for performance and reliability in fine audio and home theater systems. McIntosh is still hand-crafted in New York by a dedicated staff whose contributions have shaped the foundation of the company into the institution it is recognized as today. Their furious dedication to design integrity and innovation has resulted in more than 35 patents for McIntosh Laboratory.
An incredible blend of power and versatility, the MC255 delivers all the explosive dynamics required by today's demanding high-performance home theater systems. Dynamic Power Manager (DPM), an exclusive McIntosh technology, insures top performance at 8 and 4 ohms, enabling the MC255 to deliver 200 watts per channel into a wide variety of loudspeakers.
McIntosh amplifiers, whether two-channel or multi-channel designs, are known for smooth, non-fatiguing sound, and the MC255 is no exception. Distortion remains below 0.005% across the entire 20-20,000 audio band at full power. Noise levels are vanishingly low, and five balanced (XLR) input connections help prevent noise pickup in connecting cables from degrading the amplifier's low noise advantages.
