How do you like the sound?
I see these , and others up on CL - but I have yet to pull the trigger....
Happy listening

I'm still waiting to get a preamp for it, but I plugged my CD player directly into the inputs to test it out.
I've owned a MC250 in the past, and, not surprisingly, the two sound quite familiar. It's a bit of a "poor man's tube amp" - smooth but with some deep bass that is perhaps a hair underdamped. At least with my B&W Matrix 805 speakers. I consider it the Dynaco 70 of solid-state amplifiers - or is that the B&K ST-140? ;)
Pull the trigger, you will be hay. I used the Smaller brother, the MC250, as my main amp for decades before getting the metered version of the MC2100, the MC2105 that I used until just a couple of years ago when I when I started to downsize. Between them I first started in '69 and did not divorce until '12. Likely will come back to best life with some caps but they are simple circuits, lots of room and terribly easy to work on.
