The McIntosh MC257 is a 7-channel solid-state amplifier designed to provide an outstanding audio performance for premium home theaters. This powerful amplifier embodies the uncompromising quality and innovative engineering that McIntosh is renowned for.

Build Quality and Design

Featuring McIntosh's iconic aesthetic, the MC257 includes the traditional black glass front panel, illuminated with green LED lighting. The stainless steel chassis not only contributes to its robust construction but also complements the classic McIntosh look, complete with blue-watt meters that visually represent the amplifier’s output level. This design not only ensures longevity and durability but also enhances the visual appeal of any audio setup.

Circuit Design

The MC257 is powered by a next-generation solid-state design capable of delivering 200 watts into 8 ohms or 250 watts into 4 ohms per channel. This amplifier utilizes McIntosh's renowned Power Guard® technology, which prevents clipping that might otherwise damage your speakers. Additionally, the new TripleView™ Power Output Meter displays the power output of three of the amplifier’s seven channels. Sentry Monitor™ technology provides further reliability through fuse-less short-circuit protection.
