There was a solid-state model that was 200 Watts per channel into 8 Ohms but a lot more than that into four, and they also specified power into 2 Ohms, and it was huge. What you want is the ability to drive 2 Ohms, because the 0.5 Ohms that the signal is calibrated into reflects as 2 Ohms through the injection transformer. It might have been an MC2120; but for sure it was solid-state and about $700 used. You also want huge power rating, because dspite what they tell you, the rms power that these amps can produce is for short periods of time. If you need to run 50 or 80 Watts for extended time periods, the heat sinking better be rated for hundreds of Watts.
Here is a great website for used Mcintosh, it is for guys what a shoe store is for women... http://www.mcintoshaudio.com/ on 5/14/03 11:10 AM, [email protected] at [email protected] wrote: > > Could anyone provide lessons learned/commentary on the use of any recent > model McIntosh amplifiers for either MIL-STD-461 CS101 or DO-160 Section 18 > testing?
