McIntosh MC501 Power Amp The MC501 Monoblock Power Amplifier has been designed to meet the expectations of the most demanding audiophile. Quad-Differential Circuitry, exclusive to McIntosh, reduces noise and distortion to their lowest possible level. While the MC501 delivers a massive 500 watts continuous power into 2, 4 or 8-Ohms and over 1200 watts of peak power into low impedances, its noise levels are 124dB below rated output. This means that the MC501 combines super-high power with record-low levels of noise…nearly an impossible combination! The MC501 has a bold look yet is unmistakably a McIntosh. It features a 2-dimensional glass front panel containing a large peak-responding true-wattmeter, all illuminated with cool running, ultra long-life LED fiber-optic lighting. The chassis gleams in polished stainless steel and vertically mounted connectors at the back make attaching cables easier and takes up less shelf space. Both unbalanced and balanced inputs are provided along with three sets of huge, gold-plated speaker binding posts for high-performance speaker cables.

K7 Rear Ported Compact Bookshelf Is Bigger Always Better?...Can Speakers Be Beautiful?
Snell Series 7 loudspeakers reveal the depth, impact and nuance in every music and movie soundtrack without the obtrusive look and placement conflicts of typical speakers. Handcrafted in Massachusetts from real wood and solid aluminum, the elegant Series 7 with its soft lines and superb finish plays perfect host to the technology inside. K7 Style and room architecture play a bigger role in home entertainment decisions than ever before. The smallest of the Series 7, the K7, is designed to perform as a full range monitor and integrate with most decors. Based on high performance drivers from SEAS, and quite a bit of magic from Snell’s chief engineer, Joe D’Appolito Ph.D., the K7 betters its award winning predecessor, the K.5mk2, in half the physical size. Fine-tuned with an individually calibrated crossover, the shoebox sized K7 plays music and movies at concert hall levels, with startling dimension and clarity.
