McIntosh MC-240 stereo power amplifier (1960-1969) | |
The massive bifilar output transformers sat atop a chrome-plated chassis with two rows of valves running alongside. Each channel utilised a pair of 6L6GC's running in 'Class B' mode. Frequency response was claimed as being ± 0.1dB from 16Hz to 40kHz and distortion as less than 0·5% at rated power. Price when new was $288.00 (with cage). These amplifiers are highly sought after today (although not quite to the extent of its bigger brother, the MC-275) and prices can range from $1,500.00 for a tatty but complete and working unit, to $3,500.00 or more for an 'as-new' example. Recently in the United Kingdom, an absolutely lovely example sold for £1,600.00.
