Performance Limits

Performance Guarantee

Performance limits are the maximum deviation from

perfection permitted for a Mclntosh instrument. We
promise you that the MR 80, at the time of its pur-

chase, is capable of performance at or exceeding
these limits or you get your money back. Mclntosh is
the only manufacturer that makes this guarantee.
