Anthem MCA 525 GEN 2 – designed and built in Canada,are like no other amplifiers in the world:custom low-noise high-power toroidal transformers; high-current bipolar output transistors; high-quality filter capacitors; advanced power supply regulators;oversized aluminum heatsinks; customdesigned dual binding posts; and patented auto-on/off circuitry.
Superior craftsmanship that is reflected in clean,clear,audiophile-quality sound from top to bottom of the frequency spectrum.
Built for Transparency. Crafted for Excellence.
To complement the AVM 90 and 70 A/V Processors, we introduce the next generation of our acclaimed power amplifiers: the MCA 525, 325, and 225. These new MCA Gen 2 amplifiers, available in 5, 3, and 2-channel configurations, deliver more robust, efficient power and heavy-duty reliability than ever before. With lower Total Harmonic Distortion and a supremely quiet background, they provide a cleaner, purer sound.
Designed and crafted in Canada, the new MCA Series is built like no other amplifier in the world. Each one features a custom low-noise, high-power toroidal transformer, high-current bipolar output transistors, and oversized aluminum heatsinks. This superior craftsmanship is reflected in a clean, clear, audiophile-quality sound that spans the entire frequency spectrum.
A Clean Path to Perfection
MCA Gen 2 has been completely redesigned with a single goal: to deliver pure, unobstructed audio. By greatly reducing internal cabling, we have created a smoother, more direct circuit path. The use of low-flux toroidal transformers and improved input transistors provides a greater sense of transparency, revealing every detail, even in the most dynamically complex material.
