The McIntosh MC 2505 has the signature vintage warm and sweet sound you would expect from Mac. With 50W per channel, it has plenty of power for your high efficiency speakers. This clean example was recently serviced here in our shop, and working and running as it should throughout. The front glass faceplate has a bit of typical separation near the headphone jack and gain knob, but these fade away at a listening distance, as you're immersed in the sweet, smooth sound.
