Performance Limits 

PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE 

Performance Limits are the maximum deviation 

from perfection permitted for a Mclntosh instru-

ment. We promise you that when you purchase a 
new MC 2250 from a Mclntosh franchised dealer, it 

will be capable of or can be made capable of perfor-

mance at or exceeding these limits or you can return 

the unit and get your money back. Mclntosh is the 
only manufacturer that makes this statement. 

PERFORMANCE 

Mclntosh audio power ratings are in accordance 

with the Federal Trade Commission Regulation of 

November 4, 1974 concerning power output claims 

for amplifiers used in home entertainment products.
