Some consider the McIntosh MC240 to be the “Holy Grail” of tube sound, the MC240 has on one chassis two 40 watt power amplifiers.
In addition to use as a stereo amplifier, the flexibility of the MC240 permits it to be used as a monophonic amplifier that delivers 80 watts, or as two separate 40 watt amplifiers with each channel amplifying completely separate programs, or as two amplifiers for use with an electronic crossover network.
