Perfect for powering all five channels of a traditional home theatre system or as an expansion of an existing one to reproduce object-based surround sound, the MC255 is a power amplifier that immediately stands out for its striking new TripleView analogue display, which shows in real time the power delivered by its three front channels while increasing the beauty of the overall package.
In addition to TripleView, there are notable improvements over previous models, such as a 50% increase in filtering capacity, resulting in a substantial increase in perceived dynamic range and response at the lower end of the frequency spectrum. Also, when using only the front left, centre and right channels, the power output increases by 25% from 200 watts continuous to 250 watts continuous per channel.
When all five channels are used, the power available to each channel is 200 watts continuous, providing more than enough 'muscle' to power the most demanding home theatre systems. Furthermore, McIntosh 's unique Dynamic Power Manager technology ensures full delivery of the available power whether the speaker impedance is 8 or 4 ohms, while four Monogrammed Heatsinks ensure effective evacuation of excess calories generated by the output transistors.
