As McIntosh's first venture into solid-state amplification, the MC2505 pairs 50 watts per channel with the brand's proprietary Autoformer output stage, delivering full rated power into 4, 8, or 16-ohm speaker loads without penalty — a hallmark of McIntosh engineering. Individually gain-adjustable channels, illuminated blue watt meters, and a robust protection circuit against short or open circuits round out a design built for both performance and longevity. Despite being solid-state, the MC2505 is often described by owners and reviewers as having a warm, smooth, almost tube-like character, making it a beloved entry point into vintage McIntosh sound. Housed in the classic wooden cabinet, it's both a functional amplifier and a striking piece of hi-fi history. Shows some signs of use consistent with very good condition, but remains fully functional.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe do take trade-ins, so please contact us if you wish to do so.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease make sure to thoroughly inspect item photos for cosmetic condition.  We do try to describe the item as accurately as possible, so if you have any questions about cosmetic condition please message us.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"3mA High End Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46168213749820,"sku":null,"price":3795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0610\/9573\/9452\/files\/IMG_1729.jpg?v=1789606825","url":"https:\/\/3maaudio.com\/products\/mcintosh-mc-2505-stereo-solid-state-power-amplifier-w-wooden-cabinet-very-good","provider":"3mA High End Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
