McIntosh MC-225 stereo power amplifier (1961-1967) | |
At $198 it was a quite an affordable piece of equipment with an almost flat frequency response of 18Hz-30kHz. Like its bigger brothers, it featured three large transformers atop a chrome-plated chassis with two rows of valves running alongside. A pair of 7591 output valves were utilised for each channel and distortion was claimed to be less than 0·5% at rated power. Apart from output power and output valves, the three amplifiers (MC-225, MC-240 and MC-275) were very similar. Price of the MC-225 when new was $198.00 (with cage). Today expect to pay $1,000.00 for a tatty but complete and working unit, to $2,000.00 or more for an 'as-new' example.
