Unmatched Home Theater Performance

The MC255 is designed to deliver an unforgettable cinema experience in your home. With its increased filter capacity and dynamic headroom, the MC255 provides the extra power needed to handle the most demanding soundtracks. Whether you're using the amplifier for a full 5-channel home theater setup or focusing on the front left, right, and center channels, the MC255 ensures every note, dialogue, and sound effect is reproduced with stunning clarity and impact.

Innovative TripleView™ Power Output Meter

The MC255 introduces the revolutionary TripleView™ Power Output Meter, a unique feature that displays the power output of the amplifier’s three front channels in real-time. This 15” wide meter brings together three traditional McIntosh mechanical meters into one, providing an easy-to-read and visually striking display. The meters’ signature blue lighting adds a touch of elegance to your setup, but can be turned off to avoid any distractions during your viewing experience.

Advanced Cooling and Quiet Operation

Unlike many other amplifiers, the MC255 operates cool and quiet thanks to four McIntosh Monogrammed Heatsinks™ connected to advanced high-current output transistors. These features eliminate the need for noisy cooling fans, ensuring that nothing interrupts your movie’s soundtrack. The toroidal isolation power transformer also minimizes noise, while the gold-plated binding posts ensure a pristine signal is sent to your speakers.

Versatile Installation and Connectivity

The MC255 offers versatile installation options, making it ideal for a wide range of home theater configurations. It can power a conventional 5-channel setup or be paired with additional McIntosh amplifiers for expanded systems featuring Dolby® Atmos, DTS:X™, and Auro-3D® object-based 3D audio formats. The MC255 can also be configured for dual-zone use, delivering 250 Watts to one zone and 200 Watts to another, offering flexibility and powerful performance throughout your home.
